Judokas earn promotion
Recently, former national Judo silver medalist Tidane Ba, veteran Judoka Webster McRae and Andrew Hooper
Andrew Hooper
were all promoted to brown belt (ikkyu) under the guidance of Rising Sun’s Instructor Bruce Fraser.
Tidane Ba has been practicing Judo for almost eight years, a stylish Judoka that is well known by his peers locally for his grappling tactics and his throwing ability.
Webster McRae began practicing Judo in the 1980’s in the now defunct Golden Circle Dojo and after a long sojourn away from the martial art, made his return to Judo six years ago with Rising Sun. McRae is considered by far one of the best groundwork exponents around locally, specialising in submission techniques.
Andrew Hooper began practicing Judo with Rising Sun in 2012, coming from a strong
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu background under Renzo Gracie’s Academy in the US, he has now been around the two arts for a combined five years, his area of expertise is ground work, specialising in submissions.
The members of Rising Sun and Alpha MMA wish to congratulate them on their achievements.
