Day 2 World Cadet Championships Cyprus
Cyprus is the ideal place for a competition
in December the temperature is 74 F and it is sunny, prices are
cheap. Val and the boys are even in the out door pool and sea cannot be better except all
drivers including Coach drivers are on the phone and the flies are every where
Day 2 saw Brendan Springett and Fergus
Hamilton in action once again our boys lost there first fight and
this time their opponent never went through to the final so all that
way to sunny Cypress for just one fight. Brendan fought Akhmet from
Kazakhstan and eventually went out after a hard fight on an armlock,
Fergus once again fought hard but lost to Frenchman Elio on points
The standard as I have said was
unbelievable and the one thing we have learnt is that training just once or
twice a week will not get you International acclaim and you need to
have a strict Sambo lesson. We in GB are inclined to mix our Grappling Sports and this does not perfect Sambo Techniques. Sports like Judo,
BJJ are far to restrictive in what you can and can't do. That is why
I am starting a Sambo Class on a Monday in the New Year if I get
enough interest.
This year the BSF had enough funds to
pay for the 3 fighters this will not happen next year. So in future
competitors will have to pay their own way but we have a lot of time
to save and next year a lot of the tournaments are in reasonable priced Countries with regard to travel costs. Europeans in May
Zagreb Croatia, November World Senior Casablanca, World Cadets
December Bulgaria, World Masters October Israel So if you want to compete for GB you have to enter the British Open
