Our partner, Blau-Gelb Marburg, hosted the judo championships at the Steinmühle

The Steinmühle recently hosted the Hessian Judo Championships. In the new, large sports hall, the motto for numerous teams was: Focus! For the Steinmühle, it was also a day of active collaboration. As a partner of the Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg, it had spontaneously made it possible to host the event after the club was no longer offered any other venue options.

The championships were also a big day for another partner, the German Institute for the Blind (blista). Their athlete , Arda Yilmaz—16 years old and completely blind—impressed with his outstanding performance. He, too, competed for Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg.

 

Marcel Kalb: “Interest in the Japanese martial art is growing”

At Steinmühle, about 20 students from the bilingual elementary school and high school are currently participating in a judo club. This program has been in place for some time now. “The plan is for interested students from our club to be able to participate in such championships in the future,” explains school sports director Marcel Kalb. According to Kalb, the partnership with the judo department at Blau-Gelb has been running very smoothly and on an equal footing for years and is attracting growing interest among the student body. The judo department also made a very valuable contribution to Steinmühle’s sports project days last summer.
