  • Upcoming Events

    Just wanted to update everyone on some upcoming judo events in the Northwest.
    First, Portland Judo is hosting a clinic with Mike Swain, World Champion and 4 X Olympian on Friday 9/15. This is short notice, but he is an excellent instructor and well worth attending if you can. Info is here.

    Second, on 9/23 Budokan will be holding their tournament. The entry form is here.

    Third, on 9/30, there is a kata workshop for judges along with the 4th annual Pacific NW kata championship sponsored by Seattle Dojo. I don’t think we have anyone ready for this yet, but keep this type of event in mind as an option. Kata will definitely help all aspects of your judo.

    Finally, on 10/7 the Rainier cup will be held in Lakewood, Wa. This is always a good tournament.
    The entry form is here.
