Join National and International champions and one of the largest groups of Black Belts in the country in this fun, advanced level judo practice. While we train young high-school-age national/international level competitors our classes also feature noncompetitors in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties (and sometimes seventies) including the world champion in the 60 to 65 year old heavyweight division. The practice is vigorous and every year we do produce State and National champions but the real emphasis for most of us is on staying active and in-shape. We develop our skills learning from each other and our many guests. One day we will practice the newest arm-locks used internationally and the next the favorite inner-thigh throw used by one of our members in the 80's. We take pride in our friendly atmosphere that welcomes new people of all levels and backgrounds. We have members from Brazil, The United Kingdom, Israel, France, Mongolia, India, Japan, Algeria and Russia. International judo people are especially welcome! Note: Participants will be required to become members of the US Judo Federation (www.usjf.com), which offers insurance and the privilege to take part in other events. Theannual fee is $50.
This class is for ages 13 to adult and meets on M/W one or two times per week. From July 7 - July 28th.
