There’s no reason why you can’t grip with your leg.
2 handed grip breaks are the meta.
Petr is handsome.
I need a new gi.

Reach out to me about privates or seminars.

Seattle Budokan seattlebudokan asked for a night of gripping, and BOY did they get it. High intensity gripping strategies and sequences for over an hour. Nice little break from their norm.

32 years, 2 Olympics, 1 Olympic bronze and a whole lotta ups and downs later and I am now officially a Rokudan aka 6th degree black belt aka candy cane princess! 🟥⬜️🟥⬜️🟥⬜️🥋 I am deeply honored and grateful for this promotion from usajudoofficial and even more grateful to all these fellows pictured here. Without every single one of them none of it would have been possible. It takes a village and my PNW village is second to none. ❤️ My only regret is not being able to share this moment with Coach Uchida, but as you can see he’s still watching over me. 🥰🙏🥋

Private lessons are not available nearly as much anymore, since the competition season is ramping up. I might have to start turning people away. Get in quickly. Slide into my DMs.

Beautiful private with nateorch10p 
Worked on some ashiwaza for the first half of the lesson, and this is what we produced… In just a half hour. Dramatic differences and he came leaps and bounds in terms of understanding the mechanics of judo.
At washington_judo_academy we love jits guys.
.
Slide into my DMs to book a private.
Or a date.
