PSUK Judo v Wales v Combined Services 4^th to 6^th December 2009

 Friday 4^th December saw the National Police Judo team travel to the Welsh Institute of Sport (WIS), Sofia Gardens, Cardiff for the a training weekend and team fixture against a National Welsh team and the combined services team.

 Friday evening was taken up with free fighting at the lovely new purpose built dojo within the WIS. In attendance were the following:

Chris Hunt, Andy Moss and Matt Clempner (PSUK Coaches)

Mike Callan, Alan Jones and Kevan Williams (Welsh Judo Association Coaches)

Sam Smithson (Combined Services Coach)

 The practice was an hour and half of hard work both groundwork and standing fighting.

 Saturday morning there was a technical session coached by the Japanese coach Yuko Nakano, who gave a faultless session stressing the importance of correct form, balance and motion to compliment technique in order to produce a winning throw. There was really positive feedback to the session that Yuko gave.

 A couple of welcome guests were Alan Petherbridge (10^th Dan) and Honorary PSUK judo coach and Keith Evans, director of Panasonic UK, who has kindly agreed to sponsor both the Welsh and PSUK teams.

 

After lunch, there was a very competitive three way team match between the Police, the Welsh and the combined services.

The first match between the Welsh and combined services resulted in a 7-3 win to the Welsh.

 The second match between the police and Wales ended 5 each, with the Welsh team edging the match on points.

The last match saw a convincing police win over the combined services 8 to 2.

 The Welsh team were the overall winners, with the police second and the combined services third.

 

The result was of less significance than the camaraderie and spirit of judo which was of the highest standard. It is very much hoped that the relationship between the teams remains so strong.

From a police perspective it was good to see some excellent performances with Stuart Harris, Gary Cole and Neil Read winning all their matches.

 The afternoon was concluded with some more free fighting, followed by a meal at which the coaches spoke of continuing the close relationships between the teams, remembering recently lost fellow martial artists (both civilian and from the services).

 Sunday morning was taken up with more technical sessions given by Yuko, Mike Callan and Alan Jones.                       click to download team results sheets
