He took 2nd in the 81kg division at the Continental Crown yesterday. This officially makes him a nationally ranked player. Nice job.

Just a reminder that Monday, 12/10, practice will be at 5:30 at the Sheriff’s Training Center (see previous post for directions).

There will be no practice this Saturday 12/8 as I didn’t have a lot of interest.

Also, one of our members, Greg Kvasov, forgot to tell me today is his birthday, so Monday will be our chance to throw him.
Hopefully everyone will come to partake.

Everyone did a nice job on their promotion testing.
Keep it up.

The Steveston Judo Club is holding their tournament on Nov. 17 in Canada. This tournament is for yellow belt through blue belt competitors.

the Steveston Judo Tournament Entry Form

The end of summer is upon us and it is time to celebrate (or mourn) the end of the hot practices!
When: Saturday, August 25th, 2:00-6:00
Where: Brett’s mother’s house 2703 E 39th AVE

We’ll have swimming, food and pushups!
Please come (even if you have been skipping practice lately)!
We’re providing food (TBD) and beverages.

The entry form needs to be postmarked by June 8 to avoid the late entry fee ($80 rather than $60). The form is here.
The tournament is at the Spokane Convention Center.
There is a non-black belt waiver that I need to sign so bring it to practice next week and I will sign it.
The important thing is to get your entry (with or without the non-black belt waiver) sent in by Friday.

Anyone who is interested can purchase an ad in the program for the upcoming Junior Nationals here in Spokane. This program will be distributed to between 600 and 800 judo competitors. If you are interested, there is more information here: 2012 JUDO SPONSORSHIP

I have a conflict this weekend and next weekend is Memorial day, so we will be skipping Saturdays until June 2nd.
See everyone Monday at practice.

Congratulations to Jaime on her 3rd place finish in the tournament yesterday.
Nice job!

I wanted to thank Allen, Rich, Anna Marie, and Oleg for their help with putting on the self defense demonstration last night at the WSU Riverpoint campus. I thought the demonstration was quite a success (at least the participants all seemed excited and enthusiastic).
Again, thank you!
