Three in a Row for Southampton Juniors!

SJC had another hugely successful day out at the TJJF Junior Atemi Nationals 2026, coming home with multiple medals, two shields and some new trousers!

  • 🏆 For the third year in a row, Southampton retained the Atemi Ratio shield, awarded to the club with the most medals per competitor.
  • 🏆 The Junior Ambassador shield was awarded to Sensei Alex and Sensei Clark for their contributions to the junior nationals.

And those new trousers? A very special congratulations to Sensei Zara, who was awarded her hakama in recognition of her teaching and her contributions to the club. A thoroughly deserved honour! 🥋

Well done to every one of our juniors who competed, and a huge thank you to the parents, instructors and helpers who made the day possible.
