Welcome to the WWU Judo Club!
Current News
One member of the Western Washington University Judo Club competed at the 2009 Rainier Cup Tournament, held at the Lakewood Family YMCA in Lakewood, Wash. on October 10.
Our only competitor from the club was David Huynh who entered into the Sr. Men's Novice Lightweight Division. He fought well in all three of his matches, winning one decisively with a Hadak-Jime (choke). There was video capture of the three matches and we were able to quickly review things to work on next week.
The next tournament for the season will be the Sakuma Invitiational Shiai and Kata Competition on October 24 at Burlington-Edison High School. Information is available at the Northwest Yudanshakai website at www.nwjudo.org.
Club Philosophy
The Western Washington University Judo Club is devoted to teaching judo to beginners and advanced members year round. We provide a positive environment for co-ed judo practice stressing safety, sportsmanship, and fun. We believe that long term involvement in judo can help members become confident in themselves both physically and mentally and that this confidence will lead them to become better citizens throughout their life.
