Utah Judo gets a New Look!

Yee Ha!  We finally have the new skin live.  I hope you like it.  Special than ks go out to Jordan and Shaggy for designing and rolling this out for me!

Judo Class on the Road at Freestyle Martial Arts in Reno

Sorry for the lack of posts for the last week, but works was insane… visitors from out of town to entertain, plus I was traveling a bit as well.  One of our stops was to Reno Nevada, where we had to do a photo shoot for my company.  My son, Tyler and I went there [...]

Utah Judo Class March 21st: Wanna buy a bridge?

So last night we worked a bit on our head, arm, and hip throws, and then moved on to our bridging.  I gotta tell you, from my wrestling days I felt I was a pretty darned good bridger.  But the Gi really introduces a new element.  Once someone really gets ahold of that gi it [...]

Utah Judo Class March 18th: Working the Osoto Gari

Judo class was really great last night.  Unfortunately I was only able to make it for one of the two hours, but still it was very worthwhile.  We worked a bunch on the Osoto Gari , a common Judo move.  The problem with the Osoto Gari is that it is common enough that people tend [...]

Just moved in… please forgive our dust

As many of you might already know, I just moved this blog from utahjudo.wordpress.com.  I’m super excited to have this new domain name, and the site more under my control.  We will be putting a pretty face on the site over the next week, and should also be setting up on Feedburner, as well as [...]

New Judo Class schedule… well worth the money

Okay, so many of you have read here already that I only pay $35 per month for my Judo Class.  Well, it just got even better.  Tuesday and Thursday classes are now from 5:00 to 7:00, and Saturday is from 9:00 to 11:00.  If you figure that gives you about 13 classes per month, 2 [...]

Missing Judo Class this week: Dental Catastrophe

I have been so excited to get back to Judo since my last practice on Friday. But you will not believe the crap I just went through! I have included a picture here, just to make sure all of my Judo buddies believe that I didn’t in fact wuss out.
Okay, so here’s the [...]

Utah Judo Class March 8th: Holy crap of a workout

So this past weekend was the first time I have been able to make it out to Judo on  a Saturday… but I will not be missing many more saturdays in the future.  It was really, really neat.  We started by spending some time working on out basic moves, but ended the morning doing Randori [...]

Utah Judo Class: March 4th… bring the pain!

So I have a funny story to tell.  We showed up to Judo last night (the class is really filling up BTW), and Mike, our teacher starts by saying, “So I read on someone’s blog that they need to improve their cardio… You can all thank Steve for today.”  I cringed.  Of course Mike is [...]

UFC review

I need to open by saying that I love Dan Henderson (in a purely respectful way of course ), and I still think he has the potential to beat Anderson Silva.  I think he did a great job of managing the takedowns.  The part that surprised me most as the incredible speed of [...]
