After almost 1 year since Cyclone Judo opened its first mat, the team sent two of its members to their first international competition in Scotland.
Steve McGarvie and Will Heavens represented the club in the I.B.F Scotland international Judo and Sambo Championship. Both Competitors have shown dedication to their training, Steve obtaining his 3rd Kyu (green belt) and Will Obtaining his 4th kyu (Orange belt) in Judo over the last year. Both members had substantially less experience in Judo than the competitors they would face on the day.
Steve represented the club in the under 100kg category where he faced some stiff competition of 1st Dan graded competitors and came away with 1st place gold medal.
Will was part of a bigger pool in the under 84kg category and pulled off a very respectable 4th place in a group where members have represented Scotland in Judo.
Both Will & Steve demonstrated a good standard of judo and are looking forward to more competitions in the coming months.
