Congratulations to all who participated in the 2011 Continental Crown. Everyone did a very nice job representing Spokane Judo.
Everyone who is attending the 2011 Continental Crown tournament should register on-line at: Continental Crown Registration.
The introduction to judo class scheduled for this Saturday, Oct. 22, has been cancelled.
Apparently there weren’t enough people registered to attend. This event will probably be rescheduled for sometime in the future.
Thanks to everyone who agreed to come and help out. I will probably hit you all up again sometime soon.
On October 22, we will be teaching an introduction to judo class for several groups of visually impaired kids and adults. I would like to get several volunteers to come and help teach the class. The class will be next Saturday, October 22, from 10:00am-2:00PM at the Warehouse Athletic Facility (click here for directions).
More information about the event is in this document: Spokane Paralympic Experience.
If you can only stay part of the time, I would still appreciate your help.
Please let me know at practice if you will be able to assist.
One of the visitors to our club this summer lost his orange/green belt size 0.
If someone has it, please let me know.
There will be a youth camp (ages 14-18) on 9/16, 9/17 and 9/18. I encourage anyone eligible to attend as this will be a great opportunity to start getting ready for the USJF Junior Nationals here in Spokane next summer.
More info here.
Allen has lost his Mizuno gi. In early August, someone picked up Allen’s gi by mistake and left their size 6 HSU gi. He would like it back. So if you have it, send me a message through the contact form and I will let him know.
His gi is a white Mizuno size 5.5.
Starting in October 2011, we are going to be raising our fees. The new fees will be $30/mo for individuals and $40/mo for families.
There will be a clinic on Itsutsu no Kata on 9/17/2011 in Coos Bay OR. This is a really interesting kata and a good opportunity to learn a kata we do not practice.
It is $30 and includes lunch details can be found on the flyer : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/529018/ItsutsukataFlyer.doc
This is an extremely rarely taught kata; it is very difficult to get instruction in it. It is also ‘very unusual’ covering the more spiritual/symbolic side of Judo versus say Nage no Kata.
