Brian has been a personal friend of the Clarke Family and was a regular visitor to Nobby and Margret Clarke’s home in the 1960’s & 1970’s so he will be no stranger to Sittingbourne. Brian now lives Thailand but is spending several Months in the UK Coaching and promoting the book of his life. The seminar is open to everyone but space is limited so it is best to book, the cost is a reasonable £10 paid in advance.

Is Vladimir Putin a judo fraud?


Is Vladimir Putin a judo fraud?







This is the most ridiculous Piece I have ever read it is obviously produced to promote the Writers Benjamin Wittes, the editor of the national security blog Lawfare.wn career and Profile. I cannot find anything about his expertise in Judo or Sambo. There is a small piece saying he is off to Tae Kwon Do. Just to explain things to him Tae Kwon Do is Striking Art Judo is a Grappling discipline. It seems this gentleman is a real anti Putin Anti Trump and most probably a Democrat Journalist so it is no surprise he wants to invent something and Fake News always sells. He goes on to say he wants to challenge Putin to a fight. Putin is mid 60’s Wittes early 40’s. He knows full well the Match will never take place and he know full well it is a Publicity gimmick. For those of us who have actually done Judo you only have to look at Putins movements to know he is a reasonable standard Judoka and I have met any many Russian Judoka and Samboist who have seen his prowess in the Sport. I suggest this gentleman stick to things he know BUT if I am wrong please let him list his achievements in Judo or Sambo Maybe some USA Martial Artist can tell me of his expertise?

1967 Judo Trophy





The Young Judo Club founded by my parents John Nobby Clarke 6th Dan 1927-1990, Margret Clarke nee Schuller 4th Dan 1926-2004 is 60 years old this year, which has sadly passed unnoticed. An Internet reporter found out about this and interviewed me. He obviously went through the History of the Club, my parents and my own contribution all of which can be found on the net. I have had interviews like this on several occasions but this time he mentioned my Competition Record saying that I had won medals in Weightlifting, Olympic Wrestling, World medals in Judo, Sambo and Jiu Jitsu and then said what was the most memorial Competition I had won? He suggested it must have been one of my World medals BUT it was not. So what was it well it was my first Adult competition I entered which was the British Judo Council Open in 1967 where I won the 1st Kyu and the Open Grade event which was held in Maidstone. The 60’s and 70’s were the heyday of Judo in my opinion, why because there were just 4 Major Associations BJA, AJA, BJC Mac, BJC Otani all had a very large membership. Remember in those days the only Grappling sports that were National were Judo and Olympic Wrestling (Wrestling them days included Sambo) BJJ, MMA etc. had never been heard of

Family 1971
In those days it was quite common for Judoka to hold membership with all associations so all Judo Tournaments were well supported. The BJC Open was one of the big events of the year and at 17 being a Black Belt did not impress me but beating someone in competition did. It was a long time ago but my father Nobby told me to enter the Open, his logic was I would get beaten so knock some of the cockiness out of me. That did not work as I beat everyone all the Dan grades up to 4th Dan what it did make me realise I had the ability to win tournaments. This BJC Open was the first time someone my age had won the event and that record has not been surpassed. For next 4 years I won countless tournaments as a 1st Kyu but eventually my parents said to me you must take your Dan Grade as by being just a 1st Kyu you are belittling your opponents and the grading system. On hindsight they were right I did enjoy saying a Brown Belt could beat Black belts and now I am older I realise that this type of humiliation was not part of the Philosophy of Judo or of a Sportsman, so I took my 1st Dan at 21, 2nd Dan at 22, 3rd Dan at 23, 4th Dan at 24 in those days you had to compete and do Kata for each grade. 
Line-ups were common this where you took on about 8 to 10 players of your standard one after the other. I can not say I enjoyed kata but the grading syllabus made me learn them and I am glad I did because as I got older I began to understand why we do Kata and realised why Judo was so different to other Grappling Sports/Arts because of it.
Winner BJA British Trials 1977
 
World Sambo Silver 1986

So at 67 I am no longer involved in the Practical side of Judo. It is the way of life that younger people now take over and become the stars like I did in 1967. My involvement is as an administrator and occasionally I tell exaggerated stories on how good I was in the past to the very few who want to listen 

Now a lot Heavier
