Spokane Judo Moving to new Location

Lilac City Fit Body Boot Camp (the people who rent us space) are relocating to just North of the North Town mall.
We are moving with them.
The actual move will be this weekend 7/1-7/2 and our first practice at the new location will be on Thursday July 7.
Our schedule will remain the same.
As a result of this, tonight, 6/30, will be the last practice at our current location.
Hope to see everyone tonight at practice and next week at the new place.
The new address is:
41 E Queen Ave, Spokane, WA

The best part of being a judo sensei is seeing people learn judo.
The way we mark how much people are learning is through promotions.
The best promotion for me as a sensei is when a student gets their shodan.
This isn’t the end of learning in judo but the beginning, the new rank reflects a student’s sincerity and interest and deserves to be recognized. The black belt is such a recognition.
