The East Central Community Center where Spokane Judo has been for nearly 20 years has changed leadership.
As a result, we have had to relocate. Fortunately, we have found a great new location.
We are moving this Monday and our first practice is Thursday Nov. 2nd.
The flyer with this info ishere.
Getting a new rank in judo symbolizes all the hard work and accomplishments of each individual.
All the people who tested here did a nice job. They all worked hard and have learned a great deal.
Congratulations to all of the following:
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.
Just a reminder that the community center is closed on Monday 9/4 for Labor day.
Everyone should rest up and come to practice on Wednesday ready to workout!
I wanted to congratulate Myles Freeman on his successful promotion test for purple belt. He had a large number of techniques to demonstrate and he did an excellent job.
With this promotion comes increased expectations. Myles will have to accept more responsibilities. He is definitely up to the task!

Yesterday, FOX had a great interview with some of the people at Pacific Judo about judo in general and the upcoming Junior Olympics.
You can watch the interview here.
It is definitely worth checking it out.
Chris and Ben Mitchell competed this weekend in Portland. Both of them did very well. Chris took 1st in the Masters division. In addition, Allen Monroe worked refereeing the tournament. All of them definitely made the rest of us at Spokane Judo look extremely good.

The community center is holding a town hall meeting on Monday in the gym so there will be no judo that night.
See everyone on Wednesday.
