Moberly Stars full return to Judo

/in /by

We are in step 4 of the Roadmap out of lockdown and all restrictions are set to expire on 19th July.

We will be allowing spectators into the dojo. Seniors will be allowed to return to full contact training. The number of participants will also increase to 25 per class.

The booking system will remain in place as this gives coaches better visibility to plan lessons in advance based on the number of attendees and mat area available. All parents/students must continue to book and pay online for their classes in advance. The booking system will close 3 hours before each class to cut down on unnecessary admin.

We ask that everyone continues to be vigilant, avoid attending class if you experience any symptoms and it is a personal choice if you choose to wear a face covering when in the dojo.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Moberly Star Luca at the British Minors Nationals

/in /by

What a day for Luca. 5 straight wins to get to the final of the British Minors. He lost out to a player he beat in his 2nd contest..( would have rather the straight knock out system!!! ?)
I am so proud of this kid. He was so focused on each contest, he was the only Moberly Star competing today at the event and we were gutted that he lost his final but it’s only his first Nationals and he has a really bright future.

There was also some great experience for the 2 Moberly Stars that made the trip to Holland to compete in the extremley tough Emen and Alkmaar events. Both Maddie and Oliver fought against German, Swede and Dutch competitors and although neither returned with medals they picked up the type of experience that champions are bred on. Well done.
