Hudson workout tomorrow (Friday)

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

The next Hudson Athletic Fund workout is tomorrow, Friday, July 16. This month they're having it at ITC in Long Island City. Looks pretty accessible by subway. Info and signup form is here (PDF). Wish I could make it.

Alan and John passed shodan tests

Congratulations to Alan Best and John Faulkner for passing their shodan tests!

Promotionals

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I finally got around to reviewing and trimming the videos from the Hudson Promotionals on the 15th. Unfortunately I can't upload them to YouTube yet as I'm having trouble logging in. Hopefully I'll get it straightened out in a day or so.

I realized I never posted the results. There were four Oishi competitors:

  • Kevin won his first two matches — which were in fact his first two tournament matches ever — and thus advances from sankyu to nikyu.
  • Alan Best made batsugan and thus has only to pass his kata and knowledge test to advance to shodan.
  • Karim and Alex had some good matches.

Matt Crane, Paul Virtue, and Dan W were there for moral support. Apologies if I'm forgetting anyone.

As usual there was one thing I missed through carelessness: I looked away from the camera at the wrong moment and one of Alan's throws for ippon takes place off-screen. But I think I did at least get all the Oishi matches this time. Between the senior and masters divisions, Alex had eight matches and I got all eight.

Hudson Promotionals TOMORROW

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

It baffles me that tomorrow's tournament is not listed at HudsonJudo.org. It's also not on JudoCalendar.com or CranfordJKC.com.

The Cranford Invitational is the following Sunday (the 11th), and the Tech Judo Invitational is on November 1. Info for these is on the Hudson Judo site.
