2011 British Championships






This weekend I fought in the Cadet British Championships in my final competition at -42kg. I will move up to -46 at the Welsh next month. I had trained really hard for the last few months in preparation for the event and was confident that I was in good form.



Harry Walkley (First Fight)
I was pleased with the way I started the competition and threw Harry for ippon in 14 seconds.

Jacob Gehlan (Second Fight)
My second fight was a bit harder but I won with 2 wazaris.

Danny Laws (Semi-Final)
Danny was on good form today and was difficult to control but I threw him for ippon to reach the final.

Alexander Short (Final)
Alex is a good fighter and very strong. Alex beat me at Kendal but I got revenge at the Heart of England. I knew he was strong with the seoi-nage and I controlled him well staying well on top in the fight winning by three penalties.

This was my fourth British Championships final in a row and my second sucessive title. This was a good result as it was my first year in Cadets.
