  • Congratulations to Q

    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.

  • 2023 Inland Empire Tournament

    Our judoka did an outstanding job representing the club! Great technique and sportsmanship ~ we couldn’t ask for more!

    They were ready!
    Lined up!
    Q takes Bronze!
    Madelina takes gold at her *first* tournament!
    Aries takes gold!
    Jason takes silver at his first post-pandemic tournament!
    Not to be outdone, Jason’s dad Mike also brings home the silver!
    And Tay brings home the gold as well!

    Not everyone medaled, but everyone showed progress in their technique! All of our competitors showed strong tachiwaza and moved rapidly to great newaza – awesome!!

    Thanks to all who made the tournament a success! Many thanks to all who sent pictures, to Chris and Sensei Rich for coaching and guiding our players, and to Chris again for all the updates (that we had to hike up a mountain to get!😂😂)

    Spokane Judo would not be the club we are without all of you!

    Special thanks to Pacific Judo for making this event possible and supporting judoka in the Inland Northwest!❤️

  • Tournament Tomorrow, No Practice Saturday or Monday

    Just a reminder, we have 9 competitors in the tournament on Saturday. If you aren’t competing, go and support those who are.

    No Practice Saturday or Monday

    Because of the tournament, there will be no practice Saturday. Monday is Memorial Day so no practice then either. See everyone Thursday ready to relive the glory of the tournament.
