Best black belt judo kata
Woy Woy Judo Club instructor Mike Griffiths has received award for the best kata at the NSW Judo Black Belt Register annual kata competition at Olympic Park on May 22.
Griffiths was paired with Rodney Moulder from the western Warriors Judo Club in Penrith to perform the Nage-no kata.
Kata is a synchronized demonstration of techniques judged by more advanced kata specialists of higher grades, according to Woy Woy club administrator Ms Lindy Simmons.
Due to the distance of Penrith from Woy Woy, Griffiths and Moulder trained every Saturday at Homebush.
"Their practice made perfect by winning the best Kata of the day", said Ms Simmons
The victorious pair will have their names engraved on the trophy and represent the State at the Australian National Judo Titles in Perth on the June long weekend.
