Welcome to The World of Judo Online! EDITOR'S MESSAGE WOW! It's issue 40, the Autumn edition of TWOJ for 2004, which means of course that the magazine has now been going TEN YEARS! Can you believe it? In one sense it seems like no time since Issue 1 came out and yet it is almost as though I can't remember a time when I wasn't producing it.

Maybe a little inexperience cost her dear but you have to admire the attacking spirit. Ridder narrowly beat Belgium’s Joke Buysschaert in the final while Wilson was beaten by another German, Antje Merk to finish fifth over all. Read more » |
