Louis CK takes on the concept of "Boredom".

Review: Capital London Judo (capitallondonjudo.com)

Coach: Gabor Szanyi-Nagy (3rd Dan Black Belt)

This is fundamentally a good club. It has some problems: the BJA are insisting on regular intakes on their "ABC" beginners course, which means 5-10 complete beginners showing up all at once - that can be over half the club made up of complete beginners.
