Judo Competition

     Sorry for the bad quality of these photos - the combination of a cell phone camera and zooming up does not produce the best pictures. Everyone who participated did very well; it was a small competition, so some of us did not end up sparring due to the lack of people in our category.

Before the start.

 

Blue Judogi is E.



White belt is D.          

 

White belt (the person on top) is R.

 

 

      White belt is my father.
