won clearly against Sua Witten-Anne: An analysis of the fighting day

Judo second Bundesliga: 4: 10 away defeat for JTH against SU Witten-Annen

On April 13, 2025, the judo team took Oberhausen in the second Bundesliga against the Su Witten-Anns and had to take a 4:10 defeat. The team from Witten-Annen, highly motivated after a clear defeat in the opening fight against Bonn, went into the encounter with great self-confidence. The Holtener, with a partially newly compiled team, hardly found any ways to stand up to the strong home team.

difficult fighting day for the JTH

The expectations of JTH chief coach Ralf Najdowski fulfilled on this day, since the Wittener judokas competed in the best and with a home advantage. Despite some brave attempts by the Holteners to actively shape the fights, the opponents were often able to counter cleverly and win the decision in the soil. So after the first fights it was already 5-2 for the SU Witten-Anne.

floor fights as a decisive factor

The influence of the floor fights on the outcome of the competition was particularly remarkable. JTH could only secure himself through the achievements of the brothers Jason and Janson Wong points. Both scored with convincing techniques and showed that they can certainly survive in the competitor. Nevertheless, the team could not stop the superiority of the Wittener, who ultimately won the fighting day 10: 4.

outlook for the upcoming fights

For the JTH, a challenge is now facing, especially since they are in the penultimate place in the table. On May 31, there will be another meeting in the home Günther-Stolz-Halle against SSF Bonn. The next day of fight on May 10th, since the Judo team Hannover, once master of the league, has withdrawn from the season. Such changes in the league can represent both an opportunity and an additional challenge for the Holteners.
