Wiremu and Marco doing tachi waza. |
Today, we got all the mats out and trained with some of our friends from other nearby clubs. It was a good session, about an hour of ne waza randori followed by about an hour of tachi waza. A good training session.

Guests today included, Marco Corvino an Italian -73 kg retired competitive player visiting New Zealand and Ockert Steryn a local -90 kg retired competitive player. Both judoka played hard and gave the large group of cadets a good workout. It is vital that young players get to randori with good quality players to develop their skills, and we really appreciated Ockert and Marco putting in the effort to help out.

Next inter-club session will be in about a month to six weeks and will be in town, at the Tristar Dojo.
Ockert showed everybody his version of ushiro o soto gari and a defence. |
