2011 Junior South Championship

2011 was a packed year for both juniors and seniors of the Bradford Tomiki Aikido Club.

Juniors took part in all 3 junior championships (National, Northern and Southern) and as always demonstrated a high standard of Aikido – a fitting testament to the commitment and dedication from both juniors and their parents.

Some of the juniors also spent a weekend taking part in the International Junior Aikido Training Camp that was held at the Sportscentre Bloso – Netepark in Herentals, Belgium.

9th International Aikido Tournament 2011

Seniors took part in the 9th International Aikido Tournament held at Brunel University as members of the BAA Team. They competed against teams from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, France, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, Spain and the USA.

Both Lee and Phil were members of the BAA first team.

Overall, the BAA Team won a “shed load” of medals at this tournament.

Unfortunately, Lee isn’t able to continue to coach at our club. Lee now coaches at his club in Huddersfield.

2012 again has a full year of events for both juniors and seniors – there’s even a possibility of a Junior European Competition!

Hopefully you’ve had an enjoyable Christmas break – but are now ready for some hard work!
