Big Judo team for the Judokwai kid's competition did team very well last weekend. We took eighteen kids to the contest and a huge group of very supporting parents, coaches and helpers. The contest was very exciting and Big Judo took home a nice stash of medals (four golds, three silvers and seven bronzes). We are slowly gathering up photos and will be putting them up on the blog.

| Although contest like this are mostly about providing a 'safe' and controlled environment for kids to test their Judo skills and learn some great lessons about themselves such as being courageous and sportsmanlike we still love it when they win. The two boys on the left are Zac and Jamie from Big - with their medals. |
