This site is just to give parents (mainly) & perhaps, students a little information about Gleeson Judo, and other relevant info. I'm not trying to sell you anything other than what I have already. I hope you enjoy it! Useful titbits to be found at the bottom of this page too. FG.
Prisca has help us on several Special Training events. She is now doing very well in the run up to next year's Olympics!

Kisaburo Watanabe
A good friend of my father and a very kind man. He helped me a lot when i was first over in Japan. Unfortunately no longer with us. I will try and put more, personal memories here but for the time being, here's a link to the BJA's elegy
Yves Klein
Another good friend of my dad's. I love to put him in here, he was a pretty good judo player but as an artist, he was great! Again, I'm a little pushed for time and to do the man justice would be difficult here. So have a quick look at his wikipedia page...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Klein
Juergen Klinger
Ran the Judo Programme at Bath from 2007 to 2019 (I'm pretty sure I"m right). He was a great judo teacher. Greatly respected by all who knew him. He did far more than I can cover in the space available. He past away earlier this year and is sorely missed!
Adam Hall
Adam, is a good friend to Gleeson Judo, help out on several Specials too. He is now Head of the High Performance Programme at the University of Bath. The man to know if you want to get on in this sport!
Greg Varey
Greg, again a great friend of Gleeson Judo. He too has helped out on several Specials (you can see him on the home page). A great competitor and now assistant coach to Adam at the Uni of Bath. There's much more to be said but space doesn't really allow -
