Members of the Borderland Judo Club enjoyed huge success at the annual Lake of the Woods Judo Championships held April 22 in Kenora.

Teams from across Northwestern Ontario and Manitoba attended the event, which featured a huge cross-section of judokas from the smallest, newest ones right up to national-level competitors.

The Borderland Judo Club attended the first-annual Dryden Judo Club tournament coined “The Grappler.”

It was an awesome display of groundwork and submission holds.

The competition focus was on ground fighting, hold downs, and submission techniques—and our kids displayed some nice skills there.
