  • Just some general news

    Just a few unrelated things.

    First, we have another new member, Adam. Glad to have him on the mat

    Second, last weekend was the Continental Crown tournament in Seattle. Allen went as a referee and passed his test to be a national ref! He can now work as a referee at national tournaments. This is a huge benefit to our club as we now have a current and accurate source of information on the latest rule changes. So any questions we have, Allen is the go to guy!

    Finally, at the Continental Crown, Myles Freeman took 2nd in two separate divisions. More importantly, he won his first match with an arm bar! There is always something satisfying about making someone tap out.

  • No Practice Halloween

    The community Center is using the gym for a Halloween event on Monday, so there will be no practice that day. Everyone have a good weekend and Halloween and we will see everyone on Wednesday Nov. 1 at the usual time.

    Also, I am really glad to see our new members sticking with judo, it is hard and most people don’t have the discipline to keep coming!

  • Congratulations on their Promotions!

    We have had a lot going on lately, but I have not forgotten!

  • More New Members

    I just wanted to welcome our two new members this week, Peter and James. We are glad to have both of you on the mat.
    We have had a lot of new members lately and I am sure I missed welcoming some of you. If so, I apologize, it doesn’t mean anything other than I am at fault.

    Hope to see everyone next Monday at practice.

  • East Central Comunity Center closed Monday (10/10)

  • Introduction to Judo quite Successful!

    I just wanted to thank all of our members for their help in making the introduction to judo class a huge success. I couldn’t believe all the people we had on the mat. Let’s hope they all come back and sign up.
    I was truly impressed with how all our members stepped up and helped the new people.
    In addition, I wanted to thank Sensei Aaron Hillaire from Sakuma for his help.

  • 2016 RAINIER CUP JUDO CHAMPIONSHIPS Results

    I wanted to congratulate Ben and Chris Mitchell for their performance at the tournament last weekend. Both Ben and Chris did an excellent job. Chris took 3rd place and unfortunately, Ben did not place.
    It is easy to get caught up in how you could do better, but showing up and competing is an achievement in itself.
