Will the masked Sensei prevail?
Just a reminder that there will not be practice this Saturday, 10/23.
We will have regular practice on Monday.
Have a nice weekend and see everyone Monday.
Congratulations to Chris and Josh on their promotions to sankyu.
It has been a long time coming for both of them but it is well deserved.
Just a reminder that there is no practice this Monday, labor day.
Hope everyone has a nice long weekend and see all of you on Thursday on the mat.
Just a reminder of the change in monthly dues starting in September.
Individual memberships are now $40/mo and family memberships are now $50/mo.
Thanks to everyone for paying your dues on time.
This might be interesting to some club members.

Here is the KXLY story on judo and the mask mandate. Thank you to Pacific Judo for coming and helping make this a success. If you haven’t watched the story, here it is.
See everyone with masks on Saturday.
After a more careful reading of the DOH order, it looks like we all need to wear masks while working out.
The order gives some exceptions to the mask order but it specifically says:
“This exception does not apply while the athlete, coach, or official is not actively engaged in the sporting, coaching, or officiating activity or to indoor gyms and other fitness facilities, such as dance, yoga, and martial arts facilities”
So put on a mask and come and workout (we will be adjusting practice to make this easier).
