ONCE again Tedburn St Mary Judo Club proved why it is one of the most successful clubs in the Devon Area by coming away with a handful of medals at the recent Devon Area competition held at Okehampton Table Tennis Club.

This was the ideal time for Tedburn’s young Judoka to show their talents, and was the first competition experience for many of them. They put on a fine display and proved they were worthy contenders, winning gold, silver and bronze trophies and medals.

Sensei Allen Carter, who runs Tedburn St Mary Judo Club commented: “I’m very proud of all our Judoka for their performance, and also their respect on the mat to their fellow competitors.

“They all performed to a very high standard and are a credit to the club and their instructors. Well done to everyone who took part.”

Tedburn St Mary Judo Club welcomes anyone of any age or ability who would like to try out this sport. Judo is a great way for children to build confidence, learn control and get fit. Learning respect for themselves and others is an integral part of the club.

The atmosphere at Tedburn is fun, with emphasis on commitment, encouragement and, most importantly, safety. If you would like to find out more, or go along to one of the sessions, please telephone Sensei Allen on 01647 61024 or visit: www.tsmjudo.co.uk .
