Bridge of Allan Judo

Hi Everyone

Just a quick note that Seniors class has been cancelled this evening.

We're taking a break for the October holidays.

Junior & Senior classes will start back on Tuesday 28th October.

A big thank you to ClubSport Stirling and Vekic Photography in helping share Sasha's story with the club since he arrived in Scotland.

Ukrainian teen who fled war settled in to life with the help of Scots judo club Oleksandr Ostrikov has been hard at work honing his judo skills at Bridge of Allan Judo Club after he fled the Russian invasion of his country in 2022.

'Getting to Grips- How Bridge of Allan Judo Club have supported a Ukrainian Family transition to living in Scotland'

Oleksandr and his family Lesya & Kiril were resettled in Scotland following the conflict in Ukraine in July 2022. With the help of his sponsor family, Oleksandr started attending Bridge of Allan Judo to continue his passion for the sport. Within that time Oleksandr has made many great connections, progressed in the sport, and is now pursuing an education and career in sport.

We were fortunate to meet with Oleksandr, his sponsor John Biagi and Michael Durrington from the club at a recent training session to hear more about his experience. Heartfelt, inspiring and a fantastic message about the power of sport that we are proud to share in our latest Actify module.
