SWJA Medals Big at 2016 AZ State Open Judo

Congratulations to all SWJA judoka who competed at the 2016 AZ State Open Judo Championship held this past weekend.  Our Sensei’s and coaches are very proud of how you represented our dojo, and more importantly how you represented yourself during this competition. Whether you medaled or not, we certainly trust this was a learning experience where you can improve your judo. We are especially proud of several of our students for whom this was their first tournament.  Thanks to all parents, family and friends who came out to support and encourage our competitors. And, thanks to our members who helped coach, referee, and work the scoring tables.  Below are the results for our dojo:
