The Dojo Attends California State Judo Championships

Congratulations to the young athletes of The Dojo!

On June 9^th 2019, The Dojo martial arts academy took four young competitors from the Greenville and Quincy, California Dojos to the California State Judo Championships held in Sacramento California. The Tournament had over 200 of the best judo competitors the state has to offer. We are proud to say that the students from our little communities in the Sierra Nevada mountains did their local towns proud. We took two third-place finishes out of four entries. We are now turning our sights onto Nationals. The AJJF/ATJF National tournament will be held in Atlanta Ga. on August 3^rd. Wish your local boys and girls good luck as they continue to be their best, and continue their quest for excellence.

On March 16th, The Dojo martial arts academy sent six competitors to a tournament in Campbell, CA. This tournament, known as the Mokomoko, features competition in areas of stick fighting, knife fighting, sumo, karate point fighting, Jujitsu Kata, and mixed martial arts grappling. Overall the tournament drew more than 250 competitors. We had some students competing in both sumo and grappling sections, while others only competed in grappling. All total The Dojo walked away with eight medals including four first place finishes, four second place finishes, and a fourth place finish. We are extremely proud of our students and their achievements; for example, the student who placed forth agreed to challenge a weight division well above her weight- she did an amazing job and took fourth place
