  (9/12/22) We had a great turnout for the Nanka Fall Tournament on Sept 11. Nine students competed, and all did brilliantly.

  Jayden and Manli both took Gold in their division and Lucas took Bronze. Congratulations!!! :-). Adam, Andrew, Harrison, Hideyoshi, Marc and Musashi also did fought very hard, and all are a credit to El Toro Judo Club.

  
  

  (7/31/22) A big shout out goes to our Kids Orange belt promotions. The following students did brilliantly at the July 15 test:

  Niels, Harrison, Hideyoshi, Marcus, Stephan, Manli, Kate, Haylee and Andrew. - Great job!

   

  (7/5/22) Congratulations to all our new Kids Class Yellow Belts: Adam, Jeremiah, Josiah, Michael, Sebou, Joey and Sam.

  Also a great big "well done!" to Philip (Blue Belt) and Musashi (Green Belt) on their promotions as well.

  
  

  (7/5/22) Another of our students is going on a big adventure. Philip is off to High School in Athens, Greece. We wish him the best of luck, and we hope to see him again in the future.

  
  

  (6/6/22) Sad but excited: we are sad to see TK and Yohei leave us as they return to live in Japan. Both father and  son have been an inspiration to all of us at El Toro Judo Club. Nevertheless, we are excited for them as they embark on a new chapter in their life. TK will be working for a Professional Sporting Team in Nagano. Yohei will, obviously, continue to do fantastically well. Ganbaru!
