C l yd e Judo Club celebrated their return to action by swiftly moving into a new Dojo.

The club made a welcome return to action last week, with restrictio­ns lifted that finally allowed their under-18s to get back on the tatami.

Located in Paisley’s Clark Street, youngsters took to the mat for the first time in months on a night that also saw the club celebrate their ten- year anniversar­y.

Head coach Susan Wright said: “Several new players took to the tatami for the first time, joining a full house of returning members, many of whom commented through out the night their delight at returning to the mat.

“It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm in the room, and great to be back.”

At the end of the session, Ronnie Saez, CEO of JudoScotla­nd, chair of the British Judo Associatio­n, 6th Dan and a special friend to the club, made a presentati­on to Wright.

He commended the coaching team on its achievemen­ts and presented a certificat­e commemorat­ing the club’s tenyear anniversar­y, a landmark achieved by the club in 2019.

The club’s programme of indoor classes for under-18s, as well as outdoor JudoFit for those age 14 and over, is now up and running.
