Former Olympic bronze medallist
Annett Boehm took a masterclass session at Parks Leisure Centre
in North Shields on Monday 12 July.
The 29-year-old, who retired
last year, was supported by Sandra Klinger, the British Judo Association’s
South West Technical Officer and former German National Coach.
Boehm is best known for
capturing a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics, a year after sending
shockwaves through the sport by taking the same medal at her first
World Championships. The standout German lost a bronze medal match
at the 2008 Olympics to young American sensation Ronda Rousey.
The session was organised
by the British Judo Association’s North East Technical Officer
Chloe Cowen.
“The evening saw judoka
of all ages experience Annett’s favourite techniques that have
brought her success throughout her judo career,” said the 5th
Dan.
“Annett showed and helped everyone
understand her systematic approach to high performance judo and
how this can be adapted through to everyone’s personal technique.”
