High Noon Judo @highnoonjudo — the best Judo Club I’ve ever visited in the United States.🥋 Brilliant instructors with amazong skillsets, and passionate students who radiate energy on the mats.
If you truly want to level up your judo game, go to High Noon!
Huge thanks to @chris__circle for making this incredible opportunity happen. Hope to see you soon again!
One of the great mistakes coaches make is they stop learning. That is ultimately the biggest barrier to their growth. This is especially an issue for folks making their way in the high performance space. A key difference in high performance coaching versus other levels is the need for the coach to be open minded and view athletes of a certain level as fellow subject matter experts. At a certain level it becomes a socratic dialogue in the same way graduate school classes become when doing a doctorate. US Olympian John Jayne came to train at High Noon during our camp last April after playing silver at pan ams. John grew up training on the European circuit and as much as my role that week was to help him on issues around newaza, gripping and help him with film review, it was also my role to learn what I could from him as well. Here is John showing me a grip break he had encountered from competing on the tour that I am planning to show my students this week. Very thankful to Skye Sands and John Jayne for making the trip.
When you’re the head coach of a team about to leave to try to take its third straight national title, I guess this is the probably the most sensible thing to put on while drinking my morning coffee.
Instructionals for Social Good.
This is the next phase of what we’re building.
We’ve brought in world class instructors like Megumi Ishikawa, Hannah Martin, Isa Friedlander, and Dr. Christopher Round to create technical instruction that actually transfers to competition.
No filler. No recycled content. Just systems, timing, and decision making that hold up under pressure.
Every purchase does two things:
– Gives you real, usable judo
– Directly supports athletes working toward the 2028 Olympic Games through MASTERs
We’re not separating development from mission. They’re the same thing.
If you’re going to invest in instruction, it should matter.

I’m just so proud of these two. They amazing and brought home two Junior pan am bronze medals and a cadet pan am silver medal. We had to miss youth nationals and were pleasantly surprised when they were offered wild card slots. They really came through and fought hard. They have gotten so much better in the last eighteen months. A big thank you to @fujisportsus for sponsoring them.
