Get in shape for fall our Kardio Kick box program, instructed by Ashley Rebmann has a Saturday class again. Our Saturday Class begins at 9am every Saturday at the Dance Studio. We also have Kardio Classes Monday and Thursday at 6pm at Springtown Community Center.

We welcome Jennifer Craig to the instruction staff of the Amador Judo & Jujitsu Studio. She has proudly been on our mat since she was 4 years old. She has gone through our Kinder, Junior and Intermediate program. I had the pleasure to be her chaperone on what was her first trip to Disneyland when she was 8 years. To have watched her grow into who she is today has been extremely rewarding. She began assisting Ashley in our Kinder program 2 years ago. She currently holds the rank of Nikyu, 2nd degree Brown Belt. She is a student at Livermore High School. And she now is the head instructor of our Thursday 4:30 pm Kinder Class.

Our Judo Team under the coaching of Ryan Rebmann has just begun the 2002-2003 Judo Season. We as always wish them the best of luck and hope they find the competition side of their Martial Arts training to be a rewarding learning experience.

Please remember to check out our website www:amador-judo-jujitsu.com. We try to keep it updated with the most current information on upcoming events.

We planning on having a party…………..We are going to celebrate our 30 years! We are in the process of scheduling a date April or May of 2003. We will be setting up some committees to help in our 30th year Amador celebration.
