No open mat this semester

Sorry guys!

I was told one thing, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it's working out any time soon, so please be advised:

There will be no open mat from 5 to 6pm
on Friday nights

There will still be practice as normal from 6 until 8pm

Thank you to all those who have made regular attendance a priority under these restrictive circumstances, you are truly the heart of our club!

Candidates for office position please be prepared to present yourselves and make your case in the coming two weeks. We will have elections before spring break.

Thank you!

A recent Randori round between Jason Struck and Daniel Goh

I found it fun reviewing the video, editing and playing certain portions in slow motion; I hope that this serves as a learning aid for the entire club. I look forward to making more...

I was lucky enough to capture some of the practice this week between
Jason Struck and Daniel Goh

Here's some clips:

No open mat time next week

There will be no open mat time January 30th and Feb 6th, due to scheduling conflicts with those who use the space preceding us.
Practice will start at 6pm those nights.

T Shirts and Hoodies!

VCU Judo's T Shirts and Hoodies have finally been delivered.

If you'd like to take one home with you, please bring a little cash.

The T-Shirts are $10 and the Hoodies $20. This is below cost on both fronts.
Additionally, if you have been awarded a belt by Kevin, or have served as an officer you are entitled to $10 off either price, ie the T Shirt is free if you're a yellow belt.

These funds go to two ends: build a flexible fund for the club that will pay for competition fees as well as mats/mat space in the future.

Thank you for your support!
