Judo Tonight!

The Club will meet tonight (Monday 6/6/11) from 6-9.
This is the first day of the summer schedule which I think is:

Sundays: 4 - 6 pm
Mondays: 6 - 9 pm

I'll change that in the side bar as soon as I can figure out how... anybody know how?

Congratulations are in order!

Congratulations to Jacob Powell for his promotion to Shodan!  Jacob has been a tremendous influence in the VCU Judo club and I, for one, look forward to his continued success as both a teacher and learner of judo.

Also, congratulations to Jesse Claypoole.  Not only has he been elected as the club president for 2011-2012, but he has also advanced to the rank of Ikkyu!

I look forward to practicing with you both in the coming year!
