Sad News
I just found out that last Thursday Destinee severely burned her leg and was hospitalized for several days. All of us at Spokane Judo hope for her speedy return to health.
We are thinking of her! -
Promotion
The best part of teaching judo is seeing the students progress and learn. It is often tempting to take credit for the learning and achievements of the students but the instructor simply provides the opportunity to learn, each student chooses what they wish to do with that opportunity.
As students progress in judo, we start to expect more from them in their giving back to the club in terms of instruction and leadership. An excellent example of such leadership and giving back to the club is Tim Neal. I am quite pleased to announce his promotion to shodan. Not only has Tim given me a chance to see him progress in judo, he continually sets a good example for others in the club and he is always willing to offer his advice and instruction.
Tim, congratulations! -
