We are extremely pleased and proud to congratulate our newest (& oldest) Dan grade - Tom Monaghan, on passing his 1st Dan.
Tom, who is 72, had held his 1st Kyu (brown belt) since 1977! After returning the sport 2 years ago with the goal of becoming a Black Belt, he has recently passed his technical Dan grade!
We are delighted to award Tom with his Black Belt and he thoroughly deserves his new grade!

Well done Tom!

What is judo?

Judo is a tremendous and dynamic combat sport that demands both physical prowess and great mental discipline. From a standing position, it involves techniques that allow you to lift and throw your opponents onto their backs. On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin your opponents down to the ground, control them, and apply various chokeholds or joint locks until submission.
