🌟🥋 We're Hooked on the Commonwealth Games 2026! 🥋🌟

Today is the day! The Commonwealth Games 2026 judo competition officially begins.

This event is a spectacular showcase of skill, strength, and spirit, qualities we hold dear and nurture here at Saltire. Watching these athletes perform at the highest level inspires us and our students to strive for excellence in every throw and hold.

To all the judokas stepping onto the mat today, good luck! Your hard work and dedication to reaching this stage are what the spirit of judo is all about. We'll be watching and cheering each ippon and waza-ari from here in East Lothian!

Enjoy the games, and let the spirit of competition and camaraderie bring us all a little closer.

🥋💪 Here’s to great fights and fair play! 💪🥋

🥋✨ Last Saturday was a memorable one at Saltire Judo Club! We had the pleasure of bidding farewell to a fantastic guest judoka, Ian, who visited us all the way from France. To show our appreciation and hospitality, we gifted him something special from our community.

Our enthusiastic instructors presented Ian with a custom Saltire Judo Club t-shirt, symbolizing both our warm welcome and the strong spirit of camaraderie that defines our club. Moments like these truly underscore the deep connections we forge through judo—connections that extend far beyond the mats and blossom into lifelong friendships. 🌟

🥋✨ Friendship at Saltire Judo Club ✨🥋

Hey Saltire family! Today, we're celebrating the spirit of friendship, a core element of the judo moral code. Our mats are more than just a place for training; they're a space where lifelong bonds are formed, and cultural bridges are built. 🌉

We’re thrilled to share this fantastic shot 📸 featuring our club members along with a special guest, Iain from France, who is joining us during his holiday! It’s not every day we get to practice, learn, and laugh with judoka from other parts of the world. 🌍

Iain’s visit has been an incredible opportunity for all of us to expand our judo family and understand how deeply our sport connects us across different backgrounds and languages. 🤝

Let's continue to support each other on and off the tatami, showing the world the strength and warmth of judo friendship. Here’s to many more sessions where everyone, locals and visitors alike, feels right at home! 💙
