Northglenn Judo Club

The mat hoist is actively being repaired now. Since they have not completed their work as of 5:00pm, we will cancel practice tonight and resume regular practices on Tuesday. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Unfortunately, the mat hoist is still not repaired, although the city and club are doing everything in their power to bring about a timely resolution.

In lieu of continuing to put practice on hold, we will resume practice for both adults and juniors on Tuesday, February 3rd. The plan will be for adults to use the kata mats, while the juniors class will need to wear their judogi top and sneakers, as we will be doing judo drills without mats.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we continue working through this issue. We look forward to seeing everyone again on Tuesday.

Repairs to the mat hoist are ongoing. We expect them to be completed by the end of the week. Until then practice will be cancelled for this week. We will plan to resume practice on Tuesday, February 3rd.

The lift will need some of the components replaced in order to safely operate. Therefore, class will be cancelled again tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Class is canceled tonight due to the mat hoist not being operable. The rec center is working diligently to make repairs so we will update again before Thursday’s scheduled practice.

Cool news story about Sensei Gracie down in Littleton:

Former Olympian steps back onto judo mat decades later Grace Jividen-Truesdale proved she's still got it at the World Police and Fire Games.

Is this yours? It’s held captive at the front desk at Northglenn Rec Center.

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Barb Kendall, loving wife of Sensei Jentry.
