Persons with Judo experience are encouraged to join our regular club practice, which runs MWF(exact schedule subject to change - please check at the IMA or e-mail for more complete information) at the Intramural Activities facility. Everyone is welcome to observe, and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
The University of Washington Club tries to emphasize the principles of Kodokan Judo in all aspects of practice. Persons attending the regular club practice are expected to have basic ukemi skill, and to apply themselves to the best of their ability.
The University of Washington Judo Club operates under the UW's Recreational Sports program. It is open to UW students/faculty/staff with the appropriate facility use permit. While we cannot open our membership to persons outside the UW, we maintain an active relationship with area clubs and can provide contact information.
$15 per quarter. In addition to this, club members should obtain membership in a national organization for insurance purposes. Fees for the beginner class are arranged through the University.
A beginner class is offered through the Sports Skills program once per quarter(Summer quarter excluded). This class covers basic Judo techniques with an emphasis on falls, basic throws, and basic pins. Chokes and/or armlocks are introduced. It is designed to promote awareness of Judo as well as provide a solid basis for continued practice.
During quarters in which there is no beginning class, the regular club practice format is adjusted to take on interested beginners.
Club members are encouraged to attend area Judo clinics and tournaments. We also schedule a joint practice with area clubs every year. Our last tournament was Budokan, on May 25th.
We also sent two people to nationals this year, where they took some pictures to document the experience.
