TOCS course

Today I attended a TOCS course ran by the BJA but requested by Nokemono Judokwai for the Judoka.

What a great course.  Easy to learn, and some very good simple instruction from the BJA representatives.

Terri and Steve (the BJA instructors) talked us through it and made it fun for the kids which attended.  Generally it was meant to be for younger members between 10 and 24 but we had a mixed bag there, from 5 up to about 40, which just goes to show the commitment to learning the club has engendered in it's students.

The idea of the course was to get as many people qualified to time keep at competitions so we have a larger knowledge base at the club and we will find it easier to run our own competitions next year without hiring people in.

It all went very well and on behalf of Nokemono I would say thanks to Terri and Steve and also a big thanks to all of the Judoka and parents who were there in support of Nokemono.

The next step is to get more people at the club trained as referees and we will be well on the way to leading Dorset back on to the Judo map through competitions and the like.
