14/09/2011 Unfortunatly, due to work commitments the Wednesday kids class at David Lloyd has been put on hold, if the David Lloyd management are in agreement we will do our utmost to secure a new coach via JudoScotland that will be able to show the level of commitment required to run a junior Judo club. In the meantime please keep checking back here for news, as soon as we know what the David Lloyd wants to do we will update all members here.
Please note though that each and every member is more than welcome to join the junior section each Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7-8 pm at the Mcleod Street Community Centre.
Thankyou all very much for both your patience and your support over the last several years.
Kind regards. Ray Sheerin.

Congratulations to Michael Gray on completing the theory requirements to achieve his First Dan today, its very rare for an adult to come into Judo and on each occasion fight and win each seperate kyu grade on the first attempt at each national grading, then go on to fight through and beat the line up all with Ippon scores on the very first try at a Dan grading. This is an amazing achievment and both Andy and Ray are very proud to have Mike as the newest Dan grade member of Edinburgh Bushido.

May 19th. Edinburgh Bushido were the first club in Scotland to participate in the new system of participating BJA senior examiners sitting in on individual club gradings. Paul Laverty came through from Glasgow to sit in on the club gradings, which went extremely well. Not only did all the clubs Kai grade and Junior members pass with flying colours and congratulations go to them all, but all three examiners, Andy, Ray and Paul learned a great deal from the experience. In the future JudoScotland hope to extend this to all member clubs.
