Two of our very own blackbelts will present their self defense demo at 10:30 AM. Compete and show your support! For more information, please visit our tournament page.
Judo Fundamentals
In September, our schedule is changing. On Tuesday, September 7th, at 7 PM, we will have our first official Judo class in nearly two years! First, we will focus on basics. Then we can build up! In this class, we will frequently work with partners. You will need to bring a mask to all classes. Please wear a uniform top to Judo class. You will be thrown. We’d hate to see any of your lovely t-shirts torn! Judo will make you sweat! As a reminder, please let us know if you need a breather. The first part of self defense is protecting yourself.
Zoom Classes
As school starts, the risk of spreading colds and flus will increase. According to Walworth County Public Health, the number of COVID-19 cases has increased as well. We are in a very high risk county, and martial arts is a higher risk activity for COVID transmission. Now, we still haven’t had a single COVID case linked back to our dojang. Thank you all for your diligence!Because of your hard work, we can all continue to train and stay healthy.
If you are feeling unwell, please stay home. We have Zoom links available for those who would like to train, but cannot make it into class. There are no bonus points for ‘toughing it out’ and coming to class. Some students cannot get vaccinated. We are doing our best to keep everyone safe. See our email or app for the Zoom links.
