- July 4th Weekend Practice
- Quick Reminder- Just a reminder that there will be no practice today, Memorial Day. 
 We will see everyone Thursday on the mat. Have a nice long weekend.

- Recent Promotions- Promoting students is always my favorite part of teaching judo. 
 This time it was particularly memorable for two reasons.
 First, this was the first set of promotions after the pandemic – these promotions had been waiting for more than a year. Second, three of these promotions are for shodan and above and these are always special as they represent milestones in the development of one’s judo.
- Starting Kids Practice- We had a great first week of practice for adults. Now it is time to get kids back on the mat. 
 So the schedule will be:- Kids class is Mon/Thurs from 6:30-7:30.
- Adult class is Mon/Thurs 7:30-9:00-.
- Everyone must be registered with the USJF, you can register on-line at USJF.
 - See everyone tomorrow! 
- Tomorrow is the day!- May 3rd is the day we get back on the mat. 
 a few things to remember:- Practice is at 6:30.
- Adults only for the first week.
- We have to wear masks during practice, this is WA state rule!
- You must register with the USJF before coming on the mat.
- You should get vaccinated, the sooner we are all vaccinated the sooner the mask requirement will go away.
 - See everyone tomorrow. 
- Spokane Judo Re-Opening Plans- You need to be current with USJF. - You need to bring proof (digital card/receipt) you are current if you renew after April 30th. - Practice opens Monday, May 3rd – Adults only, practice starts at 6:30. - Practice beginning Monday, May 10th – Kids from 6:30-7:30; Adults only, 7:30-9. - Brett met with Chris from Lilac City Fit Body Boot Camp; Allen talked to James Weed (Newborn Jiu Jitsu). Based on these conversations, here is what we need to do: - Wait in cars or line up outside the building until 6:30.
- Masks are required to enter the Dojo. No mask, no entry. 
 Regrettably, masks must be worn at all times – even when practicing on the mat.
 Sadly yes, we will practice wearing masks. I know.
 This is in accordance with WA state guidelines and follows James Weed’s practice. WA state guidelines are linked on our site; relevant sections can be found on page 8.
- Temperatures will be taken upon entry. People with temps over 100 won’t be admitted.
- You will initial an attendance log indicating you have no CoVID symptoms and have not been around sick people. At some point, we’ll have a QR code we can scan.
- You’ll hand sanitize upon entering the dojo.
- If you can come in your gi, great. You can use the locker room, but only to quickly change (no visiting after practice in the locker room).
- After practice we need to wipe down mats with an alcohol solution.
 - Other matters: Promotions from last spring will be held on Thursday, May 20th. - QUESTIONS? - Email or Call Sensei Brett: 509-995-6434 - brettlewis@brettlewis.us
