A meeting was held February 19, 2008 at the Dawson Terrace Center that included a few key members of the Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources and me to discuss a possible move. As most of you know, to be a more successful Judo program the Arlington Judo Club (AJC) absolutely needs a better practice environment as to allow for an atmosphere where traditional Kodokan Judo philosophy, customs and ways can be fully appreciated and instituted. At this time it appears that the Arlington Judo Club will be moving to the Dawson Terrace Center in either late August or early September 2008 in time for the Fall session. Our Judo workout area will have permanent wall-to-wall mats to include an underlayment. We will have use and access to an office and there is a room next to the workout area with tables. The center’s primarily use will be for Judo and possibly other martial arts. AJC will add an AJC banner to the wall along with selected framed Judo documents, illustrations and a bulletin board. It appears that the AJC will likely alter the time schedule beginning in the 2008 Fall session when classes begin at the center. Beginning this Fall session on Sundays we will be breaking the Judo class times up as to offer separate classes for the two Sunday Children’s Judo classes. The move will offer us much more latitude with changing our class times to better suit our needs. This center has a small parking lot and it is only 10-15 minutes from the Barcroft Sport & Fitness Center. Your suggestions and input are welcome.
