Couldn't of happened at a worst time!

I attended England squad training at the new British Judo Centre of Excellence yesterday and whilst training with one of my coaches, I injured my thumb! Nothing too bad about that apart from my whole hand started swelling up!!

The physio insisted I went to A and E where it was discovered that I have an unstable fracture of the thumb joint!

They put me in a cast to just under my elbow!!!!

Now obviously with the world champs a week away, it's a no-brainier that I simply cannot fight! I will also be out for the British  Championships in December :(

Gutted!!

I am still however going to the World Champs! Hopefully I will be the lucky mascot as I have already used up the bad luck!!!

Got my black belt!

Hi all

I've just completed my black belt theory test. Out of 270 points I needed to get 190 to pass. I smashed it with 266!!! Well pleased!

So that nice new Fighting Films black belt will be worn with pride from now on!!!!

Welsh Champion 2013

Pleased to say that yesterday (02/11) I became the Welsh Champion in the Cadet O90 category. 

I also came 3rd in the Junior O100 category so good day overall!

Unfortunately the weather was horrific and the sports hall roof was under threat of blowing off! We ended up staying an extra night as road conditions were awful! 

I've been quiet

Hi all

Sorry for the literal silence!

I was out of judo for 6 months due to ruptured tendons in my ankle! What a nightmare!!

But I am now back fighting again and have had a number of competitions recently and have medalled in most!!

I have also amassed the 100 points needed to gain my black belt! Just need to complete my theory and it will be done ;)

I've been to a weeks squad training with the GB squad which was great and most excitedly, I have been selected to represent Great Britain at the Junior World Championships in Hungary in December!!!

My GB kit has arrived so I am really looking forward to getting that on and travelling to Hungary with the team!!
