| Introduction | Bill Taylor - Senior club coach 5th Dan I started judo when I was 5, so I'm in my 45th year. Obtained my 1st Dan at 22 (lazy) 2nd Dan 1993 3rd Dan 2000 4th Dan 2003 5th Dan 2005 I started coaching at Ford judo club in 1984, there was only a junior class at that time. Slowly but surely over the years the numbers grew, some weeks there were 3 kids on the mat, Peter and Thomas Cousins and Stuart Stevenson who is now my assistant coach. Senior class has grown into a thriving mat with regular numbers of 30-40 players, mostly Dan grades. Start competing again in the Masters Championships, by accident really, went to three gradings and no other 2nd Dan's turned up, so cut a long story short entered the Masters to do the grading.. didn't do to bad so decided to do more… 4 National Gold's later, a bronze medal in the Europeans and gold in the Commonwealth Championships and a few other medals and placing's later I have not looked back. |
