The Solihull Judo Club began:

Almost forty years ago

when Peter Barnett saw the enormous potential of what might happen in such a central position under his guidance.
He had a vision which would take the club to undreamed of supremacy over many other regional rivals (including London).

Legends (hope they wont mind being called `legends') such as Neil Adams MBE, Keith Cannaby, Les Hudspith, Dave Walker, Roy Muller, Peter Donnelly, Geoff Hobbs, Ron Knight, Joyce Malley, were knocked into `shape' by Peter Barnett and their fame spread throughout the UK and far beyond.

More history will appear here as research progresses
