Dear Judo Family, The Official Nanka Labor Day Camp is around the corner.  Do not miss out on this opportunity. It has been a tuff 2020 and 2021 for the entire world especially the Judo Community.  Because of the Worldwide Pandemic sports especially Judo has taken a huge hit.  With everything slowly getting back to normal we have scheduled a Nanka Labor Day Weekend Training Camp.  Our two clinicians will be Shintaro Nakano Sensei and Kosuke Tanaka Sensei.  Both Senseis are phenomenal and have so much to offer the Judo Community. The camp will take on a different format this year and will incorporate scrimmages among the camp participants.  So not only will you be learning from two of the top clinicians in the country, but you will also be able to showcase your skills against other camp participants.  Participation in the scrimmages will be optional. With no tournaments scheduled yet in Southern and Northern California this would be a great weekend to polish up on your Judo Skills. The camp will practice Covid-19 Health & Safety protocols, including, but not limited to non-contact thermometer reading, questionnaire screening, mat surface disinfecting and facility air circulation via ion fans and open doors.
