> On May 7, 2011, the NPS Judo Club will be hosting a clinic for women Judoka
> presented by Ms. Sayaka Matsumoto, a member of the U.S.A. Olympic Judo Team at
> the recent Beijing Olympics.
>
> The clinic will be held at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Fitness Center
> from 9 AM until 3 PM. Attendees should plan to make a small donation ($15 -
> $20) to help defer Ms. Matsumoto's travel and lodging expenses.
>
> The emphais for this clinic is women's Judo, especially the competition
> dimension of women's Judo. Men are encouraged to attend, as well, but their
> role, as attendees, will be principally as uke's for the women in attendence.
>
> This will be the second time Ms Matsumoto has been able to present this kind
> of clinic at NPS. The first clinic, a couple of years ago, was highly successful.
>
> Because NPS is a secure military installation, we need to abide by the rules
> for entry and conduct characteristic of military bases. Therefore, if you or
> someone from your dojo plans to attend, we will need them to contact me with
> their name and citizenship status, along with whether they will be driving a
> vehicle, no later than one week prior to the event (April 28, please). Send
> you information to either this email or to my official NPS
> email:rdriehle at nps.edu <mailto:rdriehle at nps.edu>.
>
> Attendees will need to have current registration with USJF, USJA, or USJI. We
> are not prepared to process new registrations at this venue, so have it done
> ahead of time. It is expected that attendees will bring a proper Judogi to
> this clinic. However, we do not care whether it is white, blue, etc, and it
> does not need to pass the rules required of a contest Judogi.
>
> In the later part of the day, in the afternoon, there will be opportunities
> for everyone, including the male attendees, to engage in some randori.
> However, that is not the main theme of this seminar.
>
> Ms. Matsumoto will decide on the agenda for the day's training.
>
> We hope you will make an effort to provide your female Judoka an opportunity
> to meet and train with Ms. Matsumoto.

> *USA Judo Teams Up with USOC to professionally "Live Stream" upcoming Senior
> Nationals*
> April 11, 2011
> Colorado Springs, CO – The United States Olympic Committee has approached USA
> Judo to professionally film and broadcast the upcoming Senior National
> Championships/*LIVE*/over the internet later this month from Orlando, FL.
> “Streaming the action live for this tournament is a fantastic way for judo
> fans to watch some of the top fighters in the world spar for big ranking
> points AND a purse worth $500 for taking a gold medal – that’s sure to draw
> the hottest action,” said Jose Rodriguez, CEO of USA Judo.
> Live streaming will cover one of five tatamis at the tournament on the second
> day of competition, April 30, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST and broadcast at
> USA Judo’s website,http://www.judo.teamusa.org/, and through the USOC website
> athttp://www.teamusa.org/.
> “Fans should be able to watch all preliminary matches assigned to the one
> tatami and then follow these same athletes as they fight through their
> brackets until they reach their gold medal matches,” Rodriguez said. “This is
> an innovative strategy for streaming live,” he said. “Most of the time, you
> only get to see the gold-medal matches but we felt that some of the best
> fights happen in the early rounds.”
> USA Judo and sponsors of the 2011 EUROPA SHOW OF CHAMPIONS SPORTS & SUPPLEMENT
> EXPO, venue of this year’s Senior Nationals, put up the $500 prize for first
> place in each senior shiai division – this does NOT include senior open-weight
> divisions, masters, kata or paralympic (visually impaired) divisions.
> The Europa Expo is a spectacle of sporting events, MMA conditioning contests
> and MUCH more in Orlando, FL, at the Orlando Convention Center. USA Judo
> officials see the Europa Expo as a tremendous draw for spectators looking for
> extracurricular entertainment while attending the Senior Nationals. They also
> see the venue as an opportunity to get unprecedented exposure for judo.
>
> For those who can’t make it to the Senior Nationals and Europa Expo, the
> broadcast is the perfect opportunity, Rodriguez said. “Those looking to get up
> early on Saturday morning will be able to lay-out on the sofa and watch great
> Judo competitions from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., non-stop action."
>
> The "Live Streaming" will be professionally produced by Echo Production out of
> Los Angeles, CA, which has been contracted by United States Olympic Committee.
> Live anchor color commentary will be done by former All American Wrestler and
> USA Judo Board member Mr. Ken Bellmard.
> "Ken, was selected because both USA Judo and USOC wanted to have someone
> providing a different perspective to the competition," Rodriguez commented.
> "Wrestling has a tremendous membership base in our country, and it is our hope
> to attract wrestling fans and athletes and get them interested in our sport
> via watching great fights with some commentary relating it to basic wrestling
> moves."
>
> Accompanying Ken Bellmard in the booth will be multi-time national champion
> and Olympian Leo White and World Champion and Olympic Medalist Mike Swain.
> Both are members of USA Judo’s Board of Directors and will be able to describe
> the technical side of judo in play-by-play commentary. Other guest
> commentators will include Olympian Pat Burris, USA Judo’s Director of High
> Performance Eddie Liddie plus surprise single-match appearances by other past
> Olympians and guests.
>
> "It is very important to the future of projects like these that our members
> get behind them and support them. This is a great opportunity for local dojos
> to bring their students together for Saturday morning classes and hook up a
> computer and TV and have them watch and learn together from some of our top
> senior athletes." Added Rodriguez, "another way that a coach can help is to
> send this notice around to all of their local members, including potential
> students and have them watch. Numbers watching is important to the United
> States Olympic Committee, as this is how they decide to continue these
> broadcast efforts of sports such as ours," concluded Rodriguez.
>
> Besides being able to watch the three to four divisions scheduled on the one
> tatami, spectators on line will be able to watch any fight-off that may happen
> between athletes attempting to win the right to represent USA Judo in the
> upcoming World Championships.
>
> This "Live Streaming" broadcast can be seen by going to the USA Judo website
> and clicking on the Senior National Championships Live Stream Icon, or you can
> go directly to United States Olympic Committee website and click on Judo
> National Championships Live Streaming Icon there, as well.
>
> “This is a first for USA Judo,” Rodriguez said, “an event that our members
> don’t want to miss. We hope that you’ll encourage friends to tune in as well.”
> In the week during the Senior Nationals USA Judo will announce how spectators
> can send in their questions and observations so that our commentators can
> address them live. Fans will also be able to send greetings to clubs around
> the nation that gather together to watch and enjoy the five hours of non-stop,
> top-level competition.
> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
> Judo dominance
> Three members of the Monterey Judo Club won gold medals at the City College of
> San Francisco Judo Invitational.
> John Roach, Nicholas Roach and Dakota Cline all won titles in their respective
> age and belt classes while Lisa Morgan, William Mendez, Carter Yoder and
> Daniel Roach finished second. Mindy Morgan and Jack Morgan won bronze.
