Patchway Judo Invade Lyme Regis....

We had a great time in the sun, as you can see the weather was perfect...

Reece Peacock became Patchway Judo clubs latest black belt in May.

He started judo aged 8, was shortly joined by his twin brother Kieran.
Both boys soon showed promise as naturally skilled players and went on to win medals at local, area then National events. Representing the club, County and Area in team events. In 2012 Reece won a silver medal at the British judo Championships and was selected for the England squad.
Reece had won all but 10 of 100 points needed to achieve his 1st Dan black belt through winning fights in competitions, he decided he would attend a grading to win the last 10; which he did this in his first fight. Not content with that he also went on to do a "line up". A "line up" is where a player fights three other players, their grade, one after another with out a break and by doing so achieves their Dan grade. Reece successful won his line up; effectively winning his black belt twice in one day!
Reece is also a Gold level junior referee and assists with coaching of the younger players at club sessions at Patchway youth centre on Coniston Rd and at the judo after school club at St Michael's school Stoke Gifford.

Reece being presented his black belt by Coach Chris Mockridge 3rd Dan, who was Patchway judo club's first black belt back in 1980's.
