Once again we have some junior competitor scholarships available. We would like to have each Konan Club nominate junior competitors with current USJF membership who will be attending the clinic for the scholarships. Please nominate up to three students from your Dojo in order of priority. We have 9 spots available and we will be assigning them by Dojo, and if all the spots are not filled on the first round we will go back and look at the next set of kids.
-Your Name and Dojo
-Your students name and nomination order (Up to 3)
-Your Students USJF numbers
These scholarships are going to be on a first come first serve basis so please get back to me ASAP.
This clinic is a good opportunity to learn from a great competitor. Katelyn is only 48K so this is an opportunity for a lot of our juniors to experience high level judo from someone their size.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me, and I have included some links below for you to check out.
While judo athletes (judokas) don’t receive much, if any, national attention, there is a lot to be learned from this intense sport and the athletes that compete at its highest level. With the exception of the Olympic games and some martial arts circles, most judokas go unknown throughout their career. The sport of judo places extreme demands on an athlete’s body and mind. Having worked with judokas for the past three-and-a-half years, I believe there are some things every athlete can learn from judo.
Attention referees, scorekeepers, competitors and coaches:
Konan Yudanshakai, Judo Affiliates of Michigan and Michigan Judo Development Association present an important and unique clinic at the upcoming Great Lakes Open Judo Tournament in Grand Rapids on October 19.
Mr. Daniel Lee, developer of Judo CARE software and official supplier USA-Judo will be coming to the Great Lakes tournament to instruct us in the use of the Judo CARE system.
