Over 1,000 Tower Hamlets
residents came to experience a host of Olympic sports at the inaugural
One Movement Festival which was staged by The East London Business
Alliance (ELBA) and Tower Hamlets Council at Clissold Park, Hackney,
on Saturday 30 July.
The One Movement festival
is one of eight taking place in the run up to the Olympics aimed
at encouraging more young people to become engaged in sports.
British Judo North London
Development Coach Gabor Szanyi Nagy led the judo sessions with
support from his fellow Capital London Judo Club coaches.
The One Movement festival
showcased the great appetite the people of Tower Hamlets have
for Olympic sports and judo was hugely popular with the crowds,
said Szanyi-Nagy.
We led those taking part
through break falls, the art of spreading your impact when you
land to avoid injury, and some basic moves such as tai otoshi
(body drop).
All visitors received a
brochure containing names and addresses of sports clubs in East
London and asked to join clubs they were interested in to help
build a sporting legacy among young people in the Olympic Host
Boroughs.
