  • Upcoming virtual events

    This isn’t judo as normal, but…

    Hello Sensei,
    I am the chair of the USJF COVID-19 Ad Hoc committee and our committee’s goals are to promote and increase access to quality judo, expand the judo community, and raise funds to support dojos.  We are the coordinators of the 
    COVID-19 Support Grant and want to continue to be a resource for our community.  In an effort to fulfill this mission, in the coming weeks, we will be encouraging people to donate for the Open Mat events on our 
    community website.  However, our first priority is to provide access to quality judo and
    we ask that you share about our event and freely provide the link/password to your membership!  IF you would like to donate to this event, please visit the USJF Community website events page.
    Our next event is on Wednesday, Oct 28th at 5:00pm Pacific Time with Arash Soofiani.

  • Judo Counters & Combinations

    You all have been listening to me go on and on about the importance of counters and combinations. Today Mike asked about combinations and I thought instead of me saying again that I think combinations are important, I would just post a link to this excellent resource.
    This gives a nice list of techniques, with setups, follow-ups, and counters.
    Memorize all of these and you will be fine.
    The list is here.

  • Canceling Practice

    We are canceling practice on Sat. 1/11/2020. The weather is just too bad. See everyone Monday night.
