shanemm Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 well it was hosted by the Cohen's Judo club "The Brave Way". there were probally about 350 people there competing. i competed in boys 15+16 156lbs and under...and i got my butt handed too me(i came in thrid though cause there were only 2 other guys in my weight class). it was great fun though, although a little too rushed. the judges were callin some bad ippons(it was ok though since we came at 9:30 and left at 8:30, and they were still going after we left) but otherwise it would have been a 2 day event. there were some really good judoka there. over all i'd say it was 10 times better than any wrestling tourni i've been to.
