Selangor Inter-School Judo tournament - 24 May 2009

The tournament held on Sunday started off in the morning at 9:00am and lasted till 3:00pm at the Methodist Boys' School. About 40 over judokas participated in the tournament. Quite a number of schools were represented - MBS, Sri Serian, On Pong 1, On Pong Teratai, Seraya, Confucius to name a few.

The show started off with two little kids doing quite well except at times I cannot help as they looked like they are dancing in the middle of the court. The later fights turned up to be more interesting with the elder judokas attacking each other on the signal from the referee, especially those in the green and the blue belt. There were no black belters on that day. Mr. Wong the grandmaster and Susan Cheah oversee the running of the tournament.
Some of the fights coming from the girls section were great, showing that the girls really can put up a great show.

The Indian boys from Kajang did relatively well as they shown great skills and substance.
The sponsor was exceptional by bringing in some KFC for the participants.....and that's left all the parents going our to ta-pau chicken rice for lunch while waiting for their kids to complete the full competition.

After the fight, Sri Serian School was declared the winners they bagged the most prizes and also having the most number of improved judokas.

While the kids were enjoying themselves, the parents are also having a time of their life.....some can't help to go back home as the competition lasted passed 1:00pm.


My son (who also wanted to be a judoka when he gets bigger in size) was also exhausted after lunch, he slept while keeping his cup of cola next to him.....yah! poor fella...he can't help it as his big brother fell out without much of a fight. Anyway, his big

brother promised him that he would improved further......he promised to climb the hill during the wekend so that he can strengthen his knee, legs and hip.

During the closing presentation Ms Susan told the participants that the sponsor has agreed to sponsor the International Junior Judo Tournament that the Selangor Judo Association is working hard to have it stage in Malaysia in 2011. This is going to be a big thing for the country but it is going to cost the sponsor some RM2 million. She hope everyone is fully committed to bring up the judo level in the state. The level that we all see on that day was very low as many of the school children are still in their white belt....

So long for now.....and see you in the next fight going to Melaka in the coming school holidays and do put in your comment and also provide us with more information so that it can be uploaded into this blogsite.
