The Adult Recreational Group is almost a traditional Institution in Braunschweig by now, meeting on wednesdays regularly for a bit of fun, sports,  and relaxation from exhausting working hours. Currently the group of sportswomen and sportsmen is expecting "Frosty Dagmars Day" defined as the coldest day possible in May and  June for having a grill party. Our  most professional organizer Dagmar is confident to exactly hit the date again this year. In the meantime the group is busy doing Judo, that is if they are not sailing or elsewhere on a short trip. They start with Belt Hockey for a warming up: The teams exert themselves sometimes treating rules more as guidelines, but coach Andreas Mätzing is watching closely! Then the many techniques and fine points of Judo are explored once more with dedication and in high spirits until Randori time (see Gallery pictures). Afterwards the tired and happy members of the group often have a get together at Michelangelo´s restaurant refueling the lost energies. New nice members are always welcome - if you look for a really relaxing evening with lots of fun and action as well visit the main dojo, Friedrich Voigtländer Str. on Wednesdays between 8:00 and 9:30 p.m. If you want to learn more about the group, please visit the link http://www.guertelball.de/ !
