notes from the matI am learning Judo at Spirit Forge Martial Arts, a club that teaches Judo and Taekwondo. We now meet in the basement of Peace Lutheran Church in Peters Township, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and on Saturdays. A fitting place for a club with that name. I am a student here, grateful for patient teachers.
