  • Lost Judo Gi

    Allen has lost his Mizuno gi. In early August, someone picked up Allen’s gi by mistake and left their size 6 HSU gi. He would like it back. So if you have it, send me a message through the contact form and I will let him know.
    His gi is a white Mizuno size 5.5.

  • Change in dues

    Starting in October 2011, we are going to be raising our fees. The new fees will be $30/mo for individuals and $40/mo for families.

  • Upcoming Kata Clinic

    There will be a clinic on Itsutsu no Kata on 9/17/2011 in Coos Bay OR. This is a really interesting kata and a good opportunity to learn a kata we do not practice.

    It is $30 and includes lunch details can be found on the flyer : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/529018/ItsutsukataFlyer.doc

    This is an extremely rarely taught kata; it is very difficult to get instruction in it.  It is also ‘very unusual’ covering the more spiritual/symbolic side of Judo versus say Nage no Kata.
