  • We are back!

    A reminder, practice is back at Spokane Judo tonight. See everyone at practice.

  • Congratulations on their Promotions!

    Promotions are always my favorite part of the year in judo. We get to see the progress everyone has made and recognize that progress.

    It’s often easy to forget how much we’ve learned over the year and it’s nice to have a marker of how far we’ve come. That’s really what the promotion represents.
    My hope is that this is just another step on your road to a long career in Judo. There’s always so much to learn and more skills to master.

  • Oh no!

    https://www.cdc.gov/ringworm/about/index.html

    We’ve had a report of ringworm in the club. The link above describes info about what it is and treatment (non-steroidal, antifungal creams). Please check your skin – parents, please check your children’s skin.

    Ringworm is highly contagious, but after 72 hours of beginning treatment you can return to practice. Fortunately, there is no practice until Thursday :).

    As a contact sport, this happens from time to time. Please check your/your child’s skin and treat as soon as possible.

    See you all on Thursday!
