Both the first and second kids judo classes are now full for the 2017/18 season. You can contact Sensei Brian if you wish to be put on the waiting list, however there are still spots in the 13+ adult class. 

The first Beginner Youth Class is now FULL. You can contact Sensei Brian to be put on the waiting list.  (204)856-3684 

The second Competitive Youth Class has ONLY 4 spots left. 

There’s still room in the Adult (13+) Class. 

The new season is coming up!

First classes will start Tuesday, September 19, 2017. Registration can be done at that time, or you can text Sensei Brian at 204-856-3684 to make sure you get a spot. The first two classes are already half full!

Youth Beginner or Competitive class 8-12 years of age = $230

Persons 13 years of age and up = $250

Family Rates. $25 discount off the total amount per additional member after the first. 

We had four fighters go to Kenora.  Isabella and Troy got silver medals. Aiden and Ryder got gold. Congrats to all!

Only one week left! Two classes! Study those sheets if you’re planning on being tested!

At our club wind up Troy and Olivia won our Judoka of the Year trophies, but there was no shortage of medals at the tournament beforehand.

Our only gold went to Ryder.

Damien, Parker, Olivia, Mop Top (who I think some people call Devlin), and Aaron all won silver.

Ethan, Cody, Andrew, Dylaen, and Chysom all won bronze.

As far as I know, no one was injured, though I bet Stangl was sore after that slam on the unforgiving surface of Mat 1.

Now, none of this includes the 10 Portage judoka who fought in the U10 division. I know that was a first time out for almost all of them, and I hope they had a good time. While I didn’t get a chance to see any of their fights (or basically anyone else’s either), the U10 competitors were lucky enough to have Sensei Brian and Sensei Eric there running and watching their matches the entire time.

Congrats to everyone involved! I know Sensei Brian feels that tournament involvement is an integral part of the sport, encompassing a different set of physical and mental skills than those experienced in class, so it was great to see so many come out!

We’ve only got three more weeks of classes, so study those syllabus sheets for testing, and come ask any questions you might have!

 

Okay, here’s the lowdown.

The Portage Tournament is on Saturday, April 8th. We still need lots of volunteer positions filled, and a good turn out for set up Friday night, and tear down after the tournament.

We’ll have a wind up party at Boston Pizza from 5-8 on Saturday with awards and speeches. BP’s offering a deal on extra large pizzas for the event.

Here’s all the info on the tournament.

Sorry gang. No judo tonight, Tuesday, March 7th. I’m stuck in Brandon. Spread the word if you can. 

We’re back on the mats Thursday. 

Hey everyone! We had five competitors at Inner City on the weekend. Cody and Ryder gor gold medals, Troy got a silver, and Aidan got a bronze. Also give it up for Alex coming out to coach!

Don’t forget class is NOT at the PCU tonight. It’s across the parking lot at the MNP building. 

There’s some sort of big curling deal on at the PCU the second week of Feb. So, judo classes for Tuesday Feb 7 and Thursday Feb 9 with be held in the MNP building just across the parking lot from the PCU. 

Also, the Inner City Tournament is in Winnipeg on Saturday Feb 4. 

It’s cold out there, but the roads are open, and exercise warms you up!
