| Chris Abel achieved his first gold medal of the year at the B.J.C. (M.A.C.) Anglia Region Closed Championships which took place yesterday. He dominated the group winning each of his contests with an Ippon maximum score. After a few initial attacks, Chris won his first contest with an Uchi Mata, throwing his opponent flat onto their back. In his second contest, after a few exchanges of grips and minor attacks, Chris was thrown for a Waza Ari score. He kept battling on, finally throwing this opponent for another Ippon scoring Uchi Mata, which many of the officials said was the throw of the day. In his final contest, Chris scored a Waza Ari thrown and followed up with a reverse scarf hold to gain the Ippon. |

Our Head Coach, Chris Abel, retained his title in the under 73Kg category at the B.J.C. (M.A.C.) Anglia Open Championships this weekend. In his first contest, after gaining one of each of the minor scores, he eventually threw his opponent for the full Ippon (10 point) score. His second contest was a bit tougher, going to the time limit, winning with a Yoko (5 point) score. Following this was a quick contest won with a strangle. He then finished off the pool round with an Ippon, qualifying for the next round as the pool winner. Chris then made quick work of his semi-final opponent with another strangle, setting up a final with an old rival. After an early Koka (3 point) score he managed to hold off the attacks going to the full time again to win gold.
Also in attendance from the club was Charles Swabey, who, in his group of the Under Yellow Belts section won a Silver. After a few attacks, he was unfortunately thrown and lost his first contest. Not letting this get to him, he kept going and won the following two. His final opponent had also won 2 and lost 1, meaning the winner would gain the silver. After getting him to the floor, Charles quickly moved to get the hold, keeping there for the required 20 seconds for the win to get Silver. |
