Olympic Torch Comes To The Bushido Judo Kwai

On Friday 20th July Olympic Torch Bearer Bob Carpenter visited the Bushido Judo Kwai at the Kings Estate Residents Association Wallsend and gave our students a short presentation on the importance of fitness. This was a surprise to everyone and went down very well with all, all of the members having their photo taken with the torch individually.  The other big surprise was that Bob, along with his daughter Margaret and his son David had trained at the Bushido Judo Kwai as far back as 1978.
