Happy World Judo Day! Team Budokan is all about Jita-Kyoei, mutual welfare and benefit, and our families, judoka, and senseis are at the heart of it all ❤️ …
Last month, we had one last opportunity to learn from Hiraoka Sensei before he and his family headed back to Japan. Judoka from around the PNW gained so much from his exercises, drills, and technical instruction. Thank you to everyone for attending and supporting the clinic. It was a bittersweet day! …
Congratulations to our judoka who competed at the Rainer Cup Championships last Saturday!

Budokan 2025 Summer Camp! We had a full week of learning new skills, practicing techniques, building strength, and having so much fun. Thank you to everyone who helped make this week extra special! …
The first battle within the war.
Grip fighting is one of the most neglected pieces in most Jiu-Jitsu gyms, yet Wrestling programs & Competition level Judo clubs practice this relentlessly.
In the standing position or on the ground, we should have an intentional focus on connections and breaking connections.
It’s also a great warmup rather than doing jumping jacks, pushups, and running in circles.

I’ve fought plenty of guys that I knew could trash me in tachiwaza, but had little to no ground game. Many don’t know, but I’ve won WELL over 30% of my matches on the ground.
Use your advantages. Have an edge.

You can play within the rules- but exploit them at the same time.
–
Remember kids… Bad players WAIT for openings. Good players CREATE openings. START CREATING OPENINGS.

The “Judo in the Park” Summer Series drew a few more people out on this beautiful Saturday. Working the dynamics of a more offensive style of judo, with a focus on being resourceful within a dominant gripping situation, i.e. multiple attacks from a single grip. Working from across the body, all the way back to same side- all angles are covered in a series of high probability throws that are used on the IJF circuit in the current meta. Modified for old people like Mike 😉
Come get good. DM me for details.

☀️SEATTLE DOJO SUMMER JUDO CAMP 2025 ☀️
Another year, another unforgettable Summer Judo Camp in the books! It was wonderful to see the students learning, meeting new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and coming together on the tatami to share, play, practice, and enjoy randori, movie time, and games. We couldn’t have done this without the support of parents, volunteers, senseis, and the awesome kids from other dojos who joined us.
THANK YOU for making this camp such a blast!
Sensei Karol and Sensei Pepper are so grateful for each of you and already looking forward next year summer camp! 😎🥋☀️🤝
