Bromley’s Northbrook Judo
Club has become the first London outfit to claim the prestigious
silver clubmark award after three-time Olympian and British Judo
Chairman Densign White presented the high-profile accreditation
in October.
Northbrook also become
the first club in the country to receive the award while training
across three venues.
The flourishing judo
centre, whose full name is Northbrook Kyu Shin Kai, formed in
1992 and have become a prominent sports outfit in the region with
training venues in Bromley, Lewisham and Downham.
The presentation at the
club’s Bromley base of the Carey Scutt Scout Hall saw Denisgn
White, a 1987 World Championships bronze medallist, take an enthusiastic
junior class while the Mayor of Bromley, George Taylor, was also
in attendance.
The European Judo Union’s veteran
commentator Sheldon Franco-Rooks also presented a small statue
of the sport’s founder Jigoro Kano.
Tim Edwards, the British
Judo Association’s Club Development Officer in London, said: “Northbrook
Kyu Shin Kai’s silver clubmark shows the continued determination
and effort the committee puts into its club.
“The committee is very
forward thinking and has great aspirations for the club to continue
its development for many years. This achievement is a continued
sign of the way in which Judo is evolving within the capital.”
