We only had two judoka venture up to Kent to compete at the Budokan Tournament, but Bridgetown Judo still made quite a splash! 💪 Congrats to young Natalie for placing 1st 🥇 and 3rd 🥉 for 2 different categories in the Girls’ 13-14 divisions! Congrats to Braam (braam.beresford) for placing 2nd 🥈 in the brown/black belt division—he beat a black belt for this placement!! So proud of these two judoka! 🥹

It was exhausting, it was upsetting at times, but it turned out to be great family experience to compete all together in a judo tournament.

Friends, mark your calendars for Wednesday, the 19th, as the one and only Sensei Bert of seattlebudokan is coming to our little baby dojo to teach the youth and adult classes. One of the most charismatic Senseis ever, the never-ending Judo competitor, a person with an unmatched sense of humor, the grand master of wall Judo, and a world-class Judo soccer player is bringing his art to the Washington Judo Academy. Don`t miss your chance to learn from the PNW Judo legend, and make sure to attend the class. Bud Light and pizza will be served! The advanced youth class starts at 6:00 pm, followed by the adult class at 7:30 pm. If you have never been to Budokan Dojo, this is a great opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere and spirit of their advanced classes that attract Judokas from all corners of PNW.
