Judo Dynamo’s

The South African Schools Judo Championships was held in Johannesburg recently. South Africa’s top Judo coach, Richard Trezise 6th Dan and 2nd Dan JKA Karate coach was delighted with eleven national medals.

“My pupils trained extremely hard for this national event and it has been worth all the sweat and commitment! I run a big academy in several schools. It is very rewarding to see the young players achieve their goals. Mental and physical strength gives them tremendous confidence. Bullying is a major problem at schools and it is great to know that my Judo and Karate students have the confidence to stand up for themselves”
