Ok, the Judo Podcast has officially moved, so if you have bookmarked this page, please change it to www.thejudopodcast.com  We will be recording another podcast soon with one of Gene's students who is studying in Japan for the summer.  The Judo Podcast is now free, and if you didn't subscribe to the newsletter, or haven't cancelled your account, please do so now.  To cancel your subscription, log into your paypal account and cancel.  Of course, if you would like to continue to donate, we welcome you to do so, and would also like to thank everyone who supported this project thus far!  The video will be making its way to www.judothrowdown.com, which will be another free site for all, and will feature video from the past and future competitions, clinics and instruction. 

Episode 16 features Paul Nogaki from Temecula Valley Judo, and we talk about starting a new dojo.  Paul is a CPA and has started several dojos over the years, and talks not only about starting your own dojo, but also about achieving 501c3 status, which he calls the "Holy Grail" of non profits.  We discuss things such as rental space, mats, insurance, and more things to think about when starting your own dojo.  Mike Darter started www.okcdt.com in 2000 as a 501c3, and Gene Shin started www.ssjjudo.com last year, and will now be seeking 501c3 status.  Thanks Paul! 

We are now in the process of changing over to new servers.  Please bear with us as this process should be complete wtihin the week.  We will also be offering the video from the Judo Podcast on a new site, which wll also be free, and annonced this week!

We are pleased to announce that we are making changes to offer The Judo Podcast for FREE!  Over the next couple of weeks we will be changing the site and structure of content.  If you are a paid member, we would like to ask you to cancel your account through paypal, unless you would like to continue your existing payment as a donation.  We appreciate your support over the past year to get this thing going, and look forward to continuing the project.   

Featuring Dr. Ann Maria DeMars and Ronda Rousey, this podcast is the followup for episode 14 "Coaching Resources" and is online now for public consumption.  Gene spoke at length with Ann Maria about coaching your own kids, and Ronda about not only fighting on the mat, but fighting to get her chance on the mat.  This is a great podcast for all!  Serge Bouyssou and Jim Pedro, Sr. were both supposed to be on, but due to conflicts, they were unable to attend.  Mike was also gone for this podcast, but it is one you will not want to miss!
