Competition season for the fall/early winter is coming up quick. Our first competition this season will be the closest to our dojo at the moment, in Joplin. This is a great location for newer students that are wanting to try competition for the first time.

Even if you do not want to compete, you can still be involved! Our dojo is wanting to be more involved in these competitions as we learn the ropes ourselves and begin the process of starting a competition in the Springfield area. But we can't do that without the support of our local people! So for the 2026 Joplin Invitational, I have started a Sign-Up link for anyone wanting to assist. Don't see something on there, but still want to contribute? Just reach out, I will find something for you!

August Focus for our kids class was protein! One of our kiddos asked "how do I get better at Judo?" Well there are a lot of answers, but this month we focused on getting strong. And getting strong starts with your diet!

Let us know your favorite quick protein snack!
