You punched your ticket to Pan Ams in Cuba, kid. You made the team.
.
I called Taras up before his final match. We had to discuss strategy again. This kid didn’t stray away from the game plan even a centimeter. He did EXACTLY what I told him to do and followed through. He stopped all his drop seoinage nonsense and started to discover real, stand up judo. Look at the results. National Champion at heavyweight, just like his coach. Listen to the announcer call out his name, technique, and the score. It’s a beautiful feeling to have your hard work recognized. Good job, kid. Now get back in the room and let’s build off of this.

This is exactly what you can expect when you come to washington_judo_academy and put the work in. Come to my classes. They will get you national titles like they did for Taras. Believe in us.
Saturdays 11-1, or whenever I feel like stopping.
Wednesdays when I can make it.
It’s good for you. We promise.

Without saying- thank you to washington_judo_academy and jasonmorrisjudocenter

Good judo starts here. Movement and body mechanics. Recently I was told there’s a name for this- Tai Sabaki? That sounds cooler than anything I’ve said so far.

I’m so proud to be part of this team. Judo is my drug.

I can honestly say- I’ve never thrown a drop seoinage in my life.

An Uchi Mata is always lurking around the corner somewhere. Go find it.
