Congratulations Marti Malloy for winning the bronze! Hopefully this sets up a Judo medal run for more Team USA members.


The seminar with Judo Olympian and Bellator lightweight tournament winner, Rick Hawn has been set for September 2.


He will do two training sessions. Each session will be 2 hours long. The first will be with Gi for Judo and Jiu-jitsu. The second will be No-gi for MMA and submission grappling. 


$60 for one session
$100 for both

Kodokan Judo 

Monday-Thursday

Drop knee throws. Powerful throws.

Tuesday-Friday

Strangles performed from pinning positions. Done from a pin, you have much more time to finish.

Monday-Thursday

Half guard lockdown submissions. This is fun (and useful) stuff that you won't want to miss. 


Tuesday-Friday

Take-downs from the clinch.

Jiu-jitsu

Congratulations to Jessee and Danielle on getting married! The wedding was great. I feel like our dojo is reaching maturity when I am able to remember Jessee training with us as a teen and now he is a grown man with a wife.

...other News--Sometime in late August or early September, we will be welcoming Judo Olympian and Bellator lightweight tournament winner, Rick Hawn to our dojo for a seminar. Please start saving a few bucks now, so you are not left out of this opportunity to learn from this outstanding Judo/MMA athlete. 

Here is a short video highlight of Rick.

Kodokan Judo

All week

Nage-waza---throws, throws, and more throws. Accuracy is always #1. Speed and power are useless if you cannot hit the target. It is also hard to hit the target if you never pull the trigger. Commit to accurate throws. Kuzushi, Tsukuri, and Kake. 

Pankration MMA

Monday-Thursday

Strangle variations--Rear, side, front, and triangle.

Tuesday-Friday

Throws/takedowns--Judo and wrestling takedowns

Jiu-jitsu

Monday-Thursday

Throws and takedowns

Tuesday-Friday

Defending and counter attacking the takedown.

Inside Dynamic MMA--July 9-13

I hope everyone had a great (and safe) Independence Day and Graffiti week. 

Big congratulations to Ryan and Julie Cunningham on the birth of their daughter, Hannah, last week. Ryan will be gone Monday, but plans to return to teaching on Tuesday.

Congratulations to Maddie Patrick for winning 2nd place at the Revolution BJJ Tournament in Seattle over the weekend. I hope to see some video soon.


The weather is getting hot and is expected to get hotter. Please be sure to hydrate before practice and stay hydrated during practice. We will use the A/C as needed. We want to get a good sweat going, but we don't need anyone suffering from heat exhaustion.

Juji-gatame--This week in all adult classes, we will be working on set ups, counter attacks, and re-counters for straight arm locks. 

See you in the dojo,

Sensei Larry Keith
