  • USJF JR. Nationals

    I wanted to congratulate all of the Spokane Judo competitors who competed in the recent tournament. There is nothing harder than getting out on the mat in front of everyone else and giving it your all.
    So nice job, Abby, Joey, and Elliot.

  • No Saturday Practice

    I am in California this weekend so no Saturday practice 7/21/2012.
    See everyone Monday.

  • Volunteers for the tournament

    A couple of our volunteers cancelled at the last minute. If anyone is available to work at the tournament, please let me know (you can use the contact form).
    If you have any time this weekend, your help is greatly needed.
    We can train you on the job, so if you are around Saturday and/or Sunday, please help.

  • Tournament this weekend

    Just some notes about the tournament this weekend.

    1. Registration and weigh-ins are Friday 9:00-4:00 at the Doubletree Hotel Spokane-City Center 322 North Spokane Falls Court.

  • USJF Junior Nationals Entries

    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.
