I just wanted to thank everyone for coming last night. I think judo looked good.

KREM story

We need you!
All of you! to come and represent Spokane Judo and the East Central Community Center.
At 4:30 today, be there!

This Wednesday June 5, KREM news is coming to do a segment on the community center. As part of this, we would like to show them what judo is like and demonstrate why judo is the greatest sport.
I would like to have as many people at practice as possible. Even if you have been skipping practice lately, please come. The community center and the judo club need all of you to show support.

They are going to put this on the 5:00 news that night so we will have to start practice early. I would like to have people at the community center at 4:30 so we can put out mats and get ready.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or just ask tonight.

Hope to see everyone there.

Just wanted to remind everyone that there is no practice Saturday or Monday for the holiday weekend.
See everyone on Wednesday.

We will have Saturday practice this week.
Practice is Saturday at 12:30 at the Sheriff’s Training Center.
Hope to see everyone there.

Here is the entry form for the tournament on 3/16 which is here in Spokane. I would like everyone to compete. Competition offers the best means of assessing how you are doing as your opponents are not used to your technique.
We will talk more about this tonight.

Download the form here.

I just wanted to thank all of the members of our club who came out last night for the self defense demonstration. I hope everyone had fun.

I would like to particularly thank Sensei Rich for teaching the class. As usual he did an excellent job.

Due to Presidents day, there will be NO Spokane Judo practice tonight, Monday February 18th.

 

We’ll see you back on Wednesday at the East Central Community Center at 6:00.

 

Thanks!
