On Oct. 1, Ippon Dojo is hosting the RAINIER CUP. This is in Tacoma.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1ST, 2016, Ippon Dojo will be hosting the
Rainier Cup tournament. Last year this was a pretty well attended event.

The entry form is here.

I wanted to recognize the competitors who came out on the mat last Saturday and competed.
Not everyone went home with a trophy but everyone did nice judo and reflected well on our entire club.

Just wanted to wish everyone who is competing the best of luck. All of you know enough judo to do very well.

If you aren’t competing, please come down and help out with the tournament or just cheer on those who are out on the mat.

Tournaments don’t get any closer! This is here in Spokane and there is no better way to start the Memorial day weekend.
I encourage everyone to compete. We practice a lot, but this is the opportunity to see how much you have learned against other people.

The entry form is here. The waiver is here.

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

Here are entry forms for a couple of upcoming tournaments.

First, the Washington State Championships. This is on 2/27 and it is a requirement for the Senior Nationals.
The entry form is here.

Second, the Obukan tournament on 3/19. The entry form is here.

All of Aleksi’s starving himself payed off! He took 3rd place in the 66 KG division last Saturday at the Continental Crown.
Its sounds like it was close in the championship match with Aleksi going the entire time.
Congratulations Aleksi.

This is on 11/14 and is probably the closest tournament to Spokane.
It looks like a nice tournament and my phone says it is about 3:30 for the drive.
If you are interested in participating, I am going to send in a club roster on 11/7, so let me know before then.
