It’s time to announce the winners of our Fighting Fit Summer Challenge! The Fighting Fit challenge is designed to support Judoka and Clubs, to support JudoScotland’s Player Development Framework, and promote the club’s engagement with its members through the summer (a period of traditionally reduced activity). Fighting Fit is a flexible programme of physical development that can be delivered through various methods virtually, outdoor activity or at the dojo.
This Summer, judoka and clubs from across the country took part to be named Fighting Fit Champion.
Category winner David Stewart shared, “The fighting fit challenge helped with my rehabilitation from a longer-term training injury. It gave me a focus especially when regular training, and most frustratingly randori, just wasn’t an option.”
Congratulations to all participants and winners.
