Budokan Training Camp, Rotterdam

I went to Rotterdam betwwen Christmas and New Year for a big training camp. I went with my dad and some others from SKK Judo Club. The four day camp was very enjoyable but very hard and in total there wer 450 fighters on the camp. One of the sessions was taken by Olympic Medalist Mark Huizinger. I look forward to going again in 2010.

Club Presentation Night

At this years presentation night I won the Fighter of the Year trophy for the third year in a row. I won 15 Gold Medals, 8 Silver Medals, 5 Bronze Medals and won 109 fights. It was a really good year winning Silver Medals at both The Heart of England and the British Championships. I also got an award for getting on the England Judo Squad.
