Rochdale Judo Club held a promotion examination this weekend and 22 junior judokas graded.

The players have trained for months for the examination and put on a very skillful display for their coaches, examiners and parents.

Ages ranged from five-years-old to 15-years-old.

Two senior judokas also graded.

A club spokesperson said: "Everyone present at the grading examination, proud parents and newly promoted judokas alike, enjoyed the smiles of all as they received congratulations on their new grades.

"Ours is a community club that welcomes people of all ages and is representative of our diverse Rochdale Community.

"Judo is truly a sport for all and whether you're a serious competitor, headed for local and national competitions, or a judoka intent on making progress through the grades by achieving technical, non-competitive excellence, this club will make you welcome. All coaches are BJA qualified and all hold Child Protection DBS Certificates.
