Spokane Judo

This is a video of Neil Adams introducing the 40 throws of the Gokyo in judo.
The first is DE ASHI BARAI.
The rest is worth watching as well.

This is a nice video.
I particularly like his emphasis on the importance of drilling.

Just a reminder that we will have practice this Saturday at 12:30 at the sheriff’s training center. This is primarily competition oriented so little instruction. Hope to see everyone there.

I just wanted to congratulate Allen and Aleksi on their 3rd place medals. This should be good practice for the Crown in a couple of weeks.

We have Allen and Aleksi competing this weekend and since they are both regulars at Saturday practice, we are going to cancel practice this Saturday.
I am sure they are going to represent Spokane Judo well!

Attendance has been down lately.
We want you back!
We have Saturday practice back and there are some tournaments coming up.
The new mats are nice!
Come back and enjoy the softness!

The Continental Crown will be on November 8 in Seattle. This is usually a big tournament.
From the Continental Crown site:

“For many years the Continental Crown Judo Tournament has been a showcase event for judo athletes on the west coast of the United States. The Continental
Crown is a USA Judo Senior Class-E and Junior Class-D event, and consistently features some of the highest caliber judo players in the country. This year
we happily invite judo players from all over the Pacific Rim and the world to participate in the spirit of international friendship and competition. The
Continental Crown is located in Seattle Washington in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Seattle is the birthplace of Judo on the mainland of the United
States and it is our distinct honor to host such a prestigious judo event in our state.”
