Doryoku Judo Academy’s novice judoka represented the Johannesburg District and their schools at the South African Schools Judo Championships at an event that took place at the Portuguese Hall in Turffontein earlier this month.
Novice Judoka – those who had not taken part in any national tournaments previously – excelled at the competition. Nine-year-old Maragon Primary Schools‘ pupils Kendra Jacobs and Anneshia Kock were awarded a gold medal and silver medal respectively. Laerskool Roodekrans’ Anrich Liebenberg was awarded a bronze medal. Laerskool Horison’s CJ Schutte finished in third position with a bronze medal while Curro Krugersdorp’s Nico Nel won a gold medal.
Sensei Danie Bruwer said he was proud of his judoka and how they have improved throughout the year to reach a competitive level.
