First Principles Judo

What a great experience at the 7th Annual Four States Judo Tournament in Joplin, MO. For medals, we brought home 1 gold, 5 silver, and 1 bronze. But more importantly, our Juniors were able to spend a whole day of competition together, learning about patience, balance, comraderie...so many important lessons. And our more seasoned competitors showed our first timers "the ropes" which was so cute to see.

Special thanks...to literally everyone who went. You were all so valuable. Each parent brought fun energy and helped the group as a whole. We had adults who came to volunteer on the score tables. And Sensei Jonathan coached the entire group. Everyone contributed, and I hope everyone had fun. So proud of all our students and dojo.

Can't wait for next year, hoping to make the Joplin competition our biggest turnout again!

--and thank you to Amber Joplin Judo & JiuJitsu, great job, friend!
