Three competitors made Spokane Judo proud on Saturday!
In his first tournament ever, Emeth distinguished himself by fighting better and better each subsequent match. He tried multiple standing and ground techniques ~ way to go Emeth!
Syd has really come a long way in her development as a tournament fighter ~ she also demonstrated multiple techniques, scoring a wazaari in one of her matches! She brought home bronze in both brackets!!
Buck's first tournament was in a crowded *advanced* division ~ there were no fighters for him in the novice division. Based on his fighting spirit and his use of multiple techniques, Sensei Brett feels he would have placed in a bracket with others who had his level of experience. He initiated multiple attacks, and worked hard to get out of a pin the entire time - not easy!
This primes us all for the Inland Empire tournament here in Spokane in 6 weeks - we'll be ready!
So grateful to our friends at Lakeland Judo for organizing the whole event and for all the support of Pacific Judo Academy as well!
