Just a couple of photos from the junior promotions last night. I am always pleased by how well the students learn and how hard they work!

Calli took 1st in the gi division and 2nd in the no gi division today at the BJJ tournament.
All her wins were with arm bars (very nice!).

I am truly honored to announce the promotions of Allen Monroe and Aleksi Lee. Their sustained hard work and dedication has earned them the rank of shodan. I wish I could say things are easier from now on but quite the opposite, we now expect more from them with regard to running the club and contributing to judo.
Their promotions were definitely deserved as they both exemplify what a shodan should be.

Aleksi won the 66KG brown belt division at the USA Senior Nationals. His hard work really paid off!

I wanted to thank everyone for coming to the party Saturday. I enjoyed getting a chance to connect with everyone off the mat. We always workout together, but it is nice to let everyone showcase their non-judo personalities.
Now I just need a way to incorporate pushups into the event!

I was also very pleased to get an opportunity to present Elijah Lopez with his much deserved promotion to White/Yellow belt. Hopefully we will see him again at practice soon.

On 8/21 the East Central Community Center put on a National Night out against Crime. This event highlighted all of the services offerred by the center. As part of the event, the Judo club demonstrated a bit of judo.

Thank you to everyone who gave up their Friday evening and helped us out.

Thanks to Sensei Tim, we now have a current class photo.

Abe has kindly sent on 3 photos from the 2011 Continental Crown tournament.

I found a few pictures from the 2011 continental crown.  They are attached to this email.  One is of Graham and Lucas, one is of me and Graham, and one
is of Akio, Graham, and Sensei John.

I just uploaded various Judo throw photos to our photo page I’m currently  working on how to put the names of the throws either in the pictures or of  a way to be able to list them. Check it out and say any suggestions.

Thanks to Tim Neal for the following photos of the tournament last weekend.
