  • Battle by the Lake 4/11

    Tomorrow is the day. Hopefully everyone can come out and support the people competing. Below I are a few reminders about the tournament. Please read them, particularly if you are competing.

    1. The link for the tournament info is here.
    2. Opening Ceremony is at 8:45 am. Please plan on arriving at 8 am.
    3. Smoothcomp will have a time for your matches. These are not accurate and they update continuously. Arrive at least 2 hours early for your matches.
    4. Make sure your gi is clean and fingernails are cut.
    5. Please wear slides or flip flops when you are not on the mat.
    6. Girls must have a plain white crew neck t-shirt under their gi. Hair must be pulled back and above the shoulder and no metal on/in the hair ties. No jewelry of any kind. I suggest everyone wear shorts under their gi pants.
    7. Make sure you bring snacks and water in case isn’t food available
    8. Parents please talk to your kids about sportsmanship. It is not about winning, it is about going out there and doing your best. I know it doesn’t
      feel good to lose, but they need to keep their cool on the mat; they can be mad or sad after they step off.

  • Congratulations on their Promotions!

    Promotions are always my favorite part of the year in judo. We get to see the progress everyone has made and recognize that progress.

    It’s often easy to forget how much we’ve learned over the year and it’s nice to have a marker of how far we’ve come. That’s really what the promotion represents.
    My hope is that this is just another step on your road to a long career in Judo. There’s always so much to learn and more skills to master.

  • Spokane Judo closed for week of 3/9

    A reminder, I will be out of town for the week of 3/9, that is practices on 3/10 and 3/12.
    Pacific has been kind enough to allow all of us to come to their club and practice for that week. Note that the Pacific practice is earlier than ours, so try to make it on time.
    Specifically:

    3/10: Practice at Pacific Judo

    • Kids class 6:00-7:00
    • Adults 7:00-8:30

    3/12: Practice at Pacific Judo

    • Kids class 6:00-7:00
    • Adult class 7:00-8:30

    We will be back on 3/17 at our regular times.

    Address:

    I hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity to train with Pacific, it is always a good thing to workout with new people and learn from new instructors as they emphasize different things.
    We will be back to our regular practice on 3/17.

  • Promotion Testing Tonight!

    Reminder, tonight is the night, we will be doing all the promotion testing. We will have a makeup night Thursday for anyone who needs to repeat the testing.
