Palo Alto Invitational

Many thanks to the Palo Alto Judo Club for a tough (and very fun) tournament in Palo Alto today.

TSJ had only 11 competitors today, but everybody fought well. Jonel and Mychal fought through injuries, and Syria was exceptional in the senior brown belt division.

Lincoln (2-2) and Tony (1-1) fought in their first tournament today and both did very well.

Practice on Monday in Roseville.

Wednesday Practice

17 bodies practicing harai goshi tonight (instruction by Teixeira Sensei). We also welcomed three new students tonight: Justin, Austin, and Dave.

Saturday practice is canceled in lieu of the Palo Alto tournament this Sunday. However, for senior students that want to participate, we'll be having a light workout at UTC this Saturday from 1-2:30pm (lots of uchi komi and nage komi).

Reminder: No Thursday Practice Downtown (November 6th)

Tuesday Practice

Fun with harai goshi was the theme tonight (and for the for the next two weeks). Lots of nage komi and a little randori tonight (16 warm bodies).

Ira made an appearance tonight! Just as scary as he was 20 years ago but a little bit lighter... You just know he's gonna dish out some justice like it's 1989 next time (stay clear if you know what's good for you!)

Practice in Roseville Wednesday. No practice downtown Thursday.

Palo Alto tournament this Sunday - contact the coaches if you need a ride to the venue.

Monday Practice

Great class tonight: 27 bodies. Tonight marks the start of a two-week training cycle on harai goshi (Kavanaugh Sensei got us started on the first variation).

Congratulations to everybody that competed at the Bojuka Invitational yesterday. Please send pics and/or video of matches to Tauasa when you have a chance.

Here is a video of one of Dave Henson's submission grappling matches at Marinobles a few weeks ago. Great job Dave!

Bojuka Tournament

It was a very nice day in Monterey. We had fun at the Bojuka tournament. Looking forward to Palo Alto next weekend. Great job from everyone at Team Sacramento.
