Practice in December

Obviously, we are not having practice on Christmas - duh , or the day after.

We'll be back to our regular time tomorrow. Everyone decided at the meeting last week that the current practice times - 2 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday - worked well for them.
So December 4 - 2 pm, December 5 3 pm

NEXT Saturday December 11 is the --- drum roll please - Masters of Submission Event with Dr. AnnMaria De Mars, Richard Elizalde, Gary Butts, Sam Garcia and Ronda Rousey all teaching chokes and armbars. We didn't get a chance to ask Victor Ortiz yet but we're hoping he will be there, too.
We'll start at 1:30 because we are going to stop early at 5:30 to stuff ourselves with Christmas goodies.

Sunday  3 pm as always

December 18-19 regular times

December 25-26 - CHRISTMAS

December 28 -29 = Camp in San Diego. Everyone should go.

Practice Schedule and Events

Just a reminder that practice on Saturday, November 27 will be 10 - 1 after which we will all adjourn to Applebees for food and discussion of next year's events, schedule, etc.

Practice on Sunday will be at the regular time, 3-6 pm

It was very good to see so many of you attend and support the clinic at San Fernando Dojo sponsored by USJA/USJF funding. That's the kind of team spirit that makes you all so successful.

Coming events

There will be a camp in San Diego again, sponsored by California Judo, Inc. As with the last two years, we expect to have a very strong contingent from WCJTC attend.

For all of you that asked, yes, Coach Ronda does have another MMA fight coming up in Las Vegas, January 7 at the Orleans Hotel and Casino. There is also talk of a possible fight for her in December but we don't have any details on that.

Practice Updata- August

There is NO practice tomorrow August 22nd  based on the fact that everyone went to the tournament today and a bunch more people are going to a second tournament on Sunday.

There IS practice as usual next Saturday August 28th 12:30 -2 and 3-6
and Sunday August 29th - 3-6

Ronda's MMA bout, August Practices, Latest News

For everyone who was wondering, yes, Ronda won her first MMA fight on August 6th in Oxnard. It took her less than a moment. She has another amateur fight coming up in Oxnard this month and then her first pro fight in Universal City in September. Thank you to everyone who came and supported her. Patty (Bradley's mom) took a video so hopefully she will post it here (hint hint)

Now for practice -- of course there is practice today, August 8th but I assume you are reading this after practice. Practice next weekend,

HEY EVERYBODY  !!!

Don't forget that this Saturday (as in tomorrow) the new practice time starts.

SATURDAY

12:30 - 2 pm  First practice -- Ronda will be there along with the usual suspects
3-6    Second practice with Ronda, Gary Butts and Victor Ortiz

SUNDAY

As for me, I'll be in part of the weekend. Not sure exactly when but I miss you guys.
As usual, work is pretty crazy, but that's good.

Julia will be there, complaining as usual.

Hey, Crystal, how about you use some of those massive you-tube skills to upload some videos here? Or at least link them?

And Rachel, what happened to that schedule?

PLEASE NOTE: People who bring their push-up cards only have two circuits the first practice. Cardless people have three. I know you ALL forgot. Moo-ha-ha  (evil scientist laugh)

People who posted on this blog also have fewer circuits. Remember that next time - RONDA !
