    We will not have our normal Saturday practice

    Tomorrow and Sunday are the Senior Nationals, I encourage everyone who isn’t volunteering or competing to go and cheer everyone on.
    The opening ceremony is at 8:00 tomorrow for the shiai and Sunday at 10:00 for the kata competition.
    All event info and updated results are available here.

    Good luck to Tay and Sensei Sam!

  • 2023 Budokan Tournament

    Spokane Judo was well-represented this weekend at the 2023 Budokan Tournament by Aries Flores who narrowly missed bring home the bronze in a very strong bracket. Her fighting shows how much she’s learned ~ she can’t wait for the next Shiai!

  • Senior Nationals Volunteers

    Pacific Judo needs volunteers for the upcoming Senior Nationals.
    Specifically, I would like to get at least 4 volunteers to help running a table on Saturday 5/20.
    I will be bugging everyone, so the earlier you sign up to help, the less everyone has to hear about it.
    The table help will have the best seat in the house for some of the best judo in the US, so don’t miss this chance to help and see some excellent judo.

  • No Practice Saturday 3/25

    Saturday, the facility is being used for a cross fit kind of competition thing so we can’t workout. We will be back to normal on Monday.
    See everyone on Monday.
