February Schedule

February will be a busy schedule with one tournament and a very important clinic during the month. Team Sacramento will be participating in the Vacaville PAL Tournament on February 26 in Vacaville California. This is an excellent tournament for all participants but is especially good for first time competitors. We will also be participating in a Daiheigen sponsored clinic by Yoko Tanabe a multiple Olympic medalist from Japan. The clinic will be at the East Bay Judo Institute in San Pablo, CA. on February 11 at 10:00 AM. This will be an excellent clinic and Ms. Tanabe has an impressive resume of competitive success in major World and Olympic competitions. The tournament and clinic schedule mean that we will not have practice on Saturday February 11 or Saturday February 25. All other practice times and schedules will remain the same. Please see Goodall Sensei for more information on both the clinic and tournament.
