First East Side Circuit Tournament

Joseki Dojo and Lakland Judo are organizing a series of tournaments for Eastern Washington/Idaho. The first of these is on December 9.
Tournaments don’t get more local or convenient. I can’t stress the importance of competition enough. We practice with each other and learn what our club members do. This is a chance to try out what you have been learning with new people that don’t know you or your bad habits.

Competition makes your judo better faster. Everyone should enter.
The entry form with additional info is here.
The waiver is here.
The club will cover entry fees.
