Marigold and Aries did us proud this weekend!

Both fought hard and showed excellent Judo techniques and attitudes. Aries brought home the Bronze following two strong wins and some tough fights. Marigold just missed the Bronze to come in 4th in a very large division.

We are so proud of our competitors!!

Best Martial Arts Institute will be hosting an Itsutsu no Kata clinic on Saturday, Sept. 30 in Eugene, OR.

I would like to congratulate the following members on their promotions. They all did an excellent job of demonstrating the skills necessary as well as contributing to the club by helping to teach others.

• Deven Huck: orange
• Aries Flores: orange/green
• Madelina Windishar: yellow

Congratulations to Q on his recent promotion to yellow/orange. He did a great job on his test. I hope this is just a continuation of his judo journey.
I also want to wish Q and Hal well on their extended trip to Mexico. I hope all goes well and we see them back soon.

A reminder, we are taking the week of Aug. 7 off as a vacation.
We will be back on the mat starting on Aug. 14.
I hope everyone has a nice week off and look forward to seeing you back on the mat with a renewed energy and focus!

With much gratitude to Sensei Sam for organizing, and to Mr. Herbert Ho for his beautiful work in creating our new ‘Spokane -“Children of the Sun” – Dojo’ sign. Hope everyone is enjoying a fun and restful summer!

Looking forward to seeing everyone back on the mat after the 4th weekend.
Hope everyone is refreshed and energized for more judo.
