On January 28th, 2012, Wisconsin Judo will host the 6th Annual Wisconsin Judo Black Belt Hall of Fame awards dinner at Alioto's in Milwaukee starting with drinks at 7pm.

In the afternoon prior to the dinner,  there will be two clinics held at Milwaukee Lutheran High School (site of  the Wahadachi Tournament).

The first starting at 12pm in Room 330, will be a Rules clinic persented by Dr. Kei Narimatsu, IJF A.  The topic will be "Rule Changes". Understanding the rules and how they are applied, affects play, gives competitive advantage and makes better competitors, referees and coaches. Attend and learn.

The second starting at 4:00pm in the gym, will be a Judo techniques clinic presented by Marti Malloy, 5th at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 5th in the World Championships in Paris and Jake Larson, Team Member World Championships and 5th in the Pan American Games.

Cost for the dinner will be $40.  Cost for both clinics will be $30 or $20 for one. Proceeds from these clinics and dinner will benefit Wisconsin Judo.

The Wisconsin Judo Referees Clinic and Badger Fall Novice 2011 Tournament was a success. New referees got a chance to work in a real tournament and new players got a chance to show their skills. Click here for a PDF file containing scans of the pool sheets.

Several Dojos have changed their hours for summer. Attached is a file with this information.
