Here is the information for the tournament on May 28.
I think everyone should attend. You should come either to compete or come and watch and help out.
Competition helps you focus your judo by making it easy to identify areas you can work on.
Helping at the tournament not only helps out the club hosting the tournament, but will help teach you lots about judo.
You can download the information packet here.
I can’t stress enough how beneficial tournaments are for everyone.

Just a note that we will not have practice this Saturday, May 14.
I will be out of town.
Workout on your own (it only takes one to do pushups).
Remember the tournament is May 28, so keep training and practice will be back on Monday.

All of our competitors did a great job on Saturday – they not only demonstrated judo, but all of them give it their all!

I can only say I am proud to be your Sensei!

• Aries Flores

2nd Place

• Monica Cheptanari

3rd Place

Other Competitors

It is easy to say that people who didn’t place didn’t do a good job. However, the other people who competed, Stefan Cheptanari, Rylee Vaughn, and Sam Lui all did great – they worked hard and did judo, their fine efforts just did not turn into wins.

There is always the next tournament!

Our Judoka

…we could not be more proud!😊

Just a reminder that we won’t have practice this weekend as everyone will be competing at the tournament.
Please come and support the team if you aren’t competing.

5. Pre-Registration Form/Survey:  Lakeland Judo wants to provide the best regional tournament environment possible.

Note Regarding Covid-19:  Effective March 25, 2021, Kootenai County and the Idaho Panhandle Health District voted to rescind the mask mandate.  While facial coverings are not mandated they are encouraged, and safe gathering protocols will be followed for large gatherings.  Adequate sanitation and frequent disinfection of competition areas will be provided for athletes and tournament staff.  Attendees should practice good hand hygiene, cover coughs and sneezes, engage in physical distancing,  stay home if sick if you or any members of your family or team are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms including muscle aches, a fever of 100.4F or greater, cough, sore throat,and/or shortness of breath.
