September Schedule

Here are the schedule highlights for Team Sacramento in September as we get ready to start tournament season in October at the Capitol Open.

*Basic (18 Hour Program) Testing will be from August 31 to September 5. Everyone needs to be ready to complete testing for basic judo techniques. Testing will be conducted by the black belts with the assistance of Jonel Luz and Kyle Roberts.

*Our inaugural golf tournament will be held on Sunday September 27 in Sacramento. We will need raffle prize donations, volunteers, golfers, etc. Please contact Joanne to offer help with the tournament if you are available.

The rest of the month will be dedicated to getting back to a normal schedule getting our students ready for the upcoming tournament season. All students that wish to compete need to make sure to attend practice as much as possible.

Cap City Practice Thursday August 27

Cap City is moving locations. We are excited that they will be moving into a spot that will have more exposure and easier access. The new facilities will have better conditions for our workouts and equipment. Of course all of that equipment needs to be moved. On Thursday August 27 we will be helping to move equipment and furniture to the new Cap City location instead of practicing. Please lend a hand to help so that the evening can go as smoothly as possible. Hope to see many helpers there.

Thanks,

Sensei Brent

O-Sensei Visit

We had a very special visit from O-Sensei on Saturday August 8. Everyone enjoyed a great workout and words of wisdom from Mr. Butler. As always we are very fortunate to have our founder come to visit and teach us. The team and coaches as always are inspired by his words and the example that he sets. Thanks to all of the students and parents for attending the event. We had over 30 students on the mat working hard to improve. O-Sensei was also here to dedicate the new Folsom MMA gym in the traditional Japanese/Hawaiian style, which included a special ceremony and plaque. If you were unable to come to this visit make sure that you attend the next visit from O-Sensei, it is always a great experience.

I am very proud of all the great accomplishments the team has achieved this year, outstanding! I am excited about a great day of fun, hard judo, Team Sacramento style!
