Spokane Judo

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!

I was glad to see all the members who came out and supported the tournament. This included the players on the mat and the people who helped with the table (Paul, Cassidy Freeman, Chris Mitchell, Rya, Anna Marie). Also, Allen and Miles Freeman did a great job reffing!

John Freeman deserves special recognition for organizing the Spokane Judo table and working the entire tournament. Without him there wouldn’t have been a Spokane Judo table. Judo is all about mutual benefit, but I believe Spokane Judo has definitely gotten our benefit from John!

Finally, here are the actual competition results. The fighters all did well. There are always things to work on.

Name	Result:
Myles Freeman	3rd (15-16 division)
Jake Gott	3rd
Isla Gott	3rd
Elaina Gott	3rd

Just wanted to remind everyone that the community center is closed for Memorial day, so no practice today.
See everyone Wednesday ready to workout!

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.

Here are some photos from the recent tournament. These are in no particular order and if someone is left out, it isn’t intentional, I just don’t have your photo.

I was really pleased with the number of people from our club that attended the tournament last Saturday. All the competitors did well.

Those who didn’t come home with a medal still deserve our recognition for showing up and fighting. Everyone has a bad day now and then. The only solution is train more for the next one!
The next one is in 6 weeks here in Spokane, so come and let’s train hard.

I am happy to post any photos anyone has, please send them on.
