As part of Team USA, Mike and Annie always fight amongst the best in the world

Meanwhile Annie and Michael were down in El Salvador fighting in the 2010 Pan American Judo Championships.   Annie writes: “Mike and I didn’t have a good year this year at Pan Ams. Mike went 0-2 yesterday and I went 0-1 (I didn’t get pulled through to fight in the repechage).  However, I got the chance to redeem myself in the team competition going 3-0 helping win against Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Argentina.  I had to fight up a division (-52kg) because the team event only had certain weight classes and mine (-48kg) wasn’t picked. So I fought up and was able to redeem myself…”

We are extremely proud of all of our athletes. Win or lose, you guys represent the IC to the fullest.  Keep up the great work!

What is Judo?

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Since many IC members have been asking us  what exactly Judo is, we thought it was appropriate to show this great documentary produced by Annie.

We are also proud to announce that our friends at East Bay Judo Institute will be conducting a demo at the IC in January featuring Olympian Sayaka Matsumoto.  For information, please register here.
