KL Judo welcomes Stuart Teng

Stuart Teng

Over the years we've always welcomed Malaysian overseas students who were back for their school break. Many took up judo at university abroad and wanted to continue their training while on holiday back home.

I guess they were drawn to our club from our social media postings. Anyone who visits our social media pages, or reads this blog, knows that we emphasize practical, modern, competition-style techniques. So, naturally we would attract those people who want to improve their competition skills.

Stuart Teng from Nottingham University will be training with us for seven weeks while he's back in Malaysia. He had his first session with us yesterday, where we worked on different kinds of strangles.

At -66kg, he will find many suitable training partners in the club as we have many players around that weight. His tenacity and aggressive fighting style is also suitable for our competitive players who are training up for the Junior Nationals in August.

Stuart will be attending our general training sessions as well as our elite competition training sessions. So, he should be at the club four or five times a week. We are delighted to have him train with us over the next one and half months and we are confident his judo will improve by leaps and bounds during this time.
