On Sunday 30th September 2012 seven members from Wallsend's Bushido Judo Kwai competed at The North East Open Judo Championship at Westgate Centre For Sport, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Liam Banks won Gold in the boys under 60k, Jack Barnett won Gold in the  boys Primary under 34k, Ellie Hutton won Silver in the girls Primary under 27k, Jessica Cairns won Silver in the girls under 45k.  Both Jack Compton (7) and Leon Milner (11) competing in their first championship came away with runner up medals, senior member Robert Stuart (16) who was competing in his first senior event, gave a very good account of himself despite coming up against black belt competitors, but unfortunately didn't make it into the medals.
