June Schedule Correction

Correction to the June schedule is as follows:

Sunday June 28- Daiheigen workout (not June 27)

June Schedule

June will be an important and extremely busy month for Team Sacramento. We have USJA Junior Nationals in San Diego and Daiheigen workouts throughout June to prepare for the USJF Junior Nationals in July. We also have a fantastic event at Folsom MMA with a special guest appearance by Chuck Liddell. This is what the June schedule will be:

All normal practices during the week

Saturday June 6- Special practice and meet and greet sessions with Chuck Liddell (all students expected to attend)

Sunday June 7- Daiheigen Junior National workout at Okubo (all Junior National competitors expected to attend)

Saturday & Sunday June 20 & 21- USJA Junior Nationals

Sunday June 27- Daiheigen Junior National workout at Okubo (all Junior National competitors expected to attend)

As you can see with our normal practice schedule we have quite a full month, this is the apex of what we have worked so hard for. It is time to work harder than ever.
KONJO!

Exciting Announcement

It is my pleasure to announce that Chuck Liddell will be at Folsom MMA on June 6, at 3:00 PM. He will most likely be there early to meet the members of Team Sacramento and take photos with us. He will then do a meet and greet for people that want to show up. Proceeds will go to Team Sacramento and he is doing this event without charge. I expect all judoka to be there that day for a good workout, pictures, and most of all fun! Please mark your calendar and look for more announcements as the event draws closer.
KONJO!

Schedule for the next week

I just wanted to let everyone know that the time is finally here and we are off to San Diego for the weekend and much success at the California State Championships! With this trip we will also be cancelling class on Saturday May 23 and Monday May 25. Please think about us as we go to represent Team Sacramento and pray for our safe return. I would also encourage everyone to keep a close eye on the info blog as there is an exciting announcement forthcoming.
KONJO!

Saturday Practice

20 judoka today: tough warmup, lots of work on yoko tomoenage, and finished up with a few rounds of randori and newaza.
