EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on 11 October 1980 at Carn Brea Leisure Centre in Redruth, Cornwall, British judo champion Brian Jacks (b. 1946) shares his expertise with local young people. Surrounded by a group of curious and engaged children and adults, Jacks demonstrates the intricacies of judo, a martial art that emphasizes throws, joint locks, and submission holds. Brian Jacks, a top British judoka and celebrated sportsman, is known for his impressive achievements in the sport. With a career spanning several decades, Jacks has earned numerous accolades, including multiple British and European titles, as well as a silver medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics. During this teaching session, Jacks is joined by David Denmead of St Ives, likely another judo instructor or practitioner, who assists in demonstrating various techniques to the attentive audience. The children, dressed in judogi (traditional judo uniforms), eagerly observe and learn from the masters, their faces filled with wonder and excitement. Adult spectators, some with cameras in hand, watch from the sidelines, capturing the moment for posterity. The photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and inclusive judo community in Cornwall during that era. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the rich history of judo in the UK and the impact of dedicated individuals like Brian Jacks on the lives of young people.
