Seattle Judo Dojo
This Sunday The Seattle Times ran a very nice article on "Seattle Dojo", believed to be the oldest existing Judo Dojo outside of Japan. Here's THE LINK to the article.
This dojo, run by the Yamada family for generations, hosted visits by Judo founder Jigaro Kano twice, and was the school where Bruce Lee polished his grappling skills while living in Seattle. The building was designed by Kichio Allen Arai, the first Asian American architect in Seattle. The floor is sprung on 1930's Model A Ford truck springs to give it bounce.
Among the other Dojo's mentioned is Obukan Dojo in Portland, also believed to be the oldest Dojo in Portland, and home to the Onchi brothers, who tore up high school wrestling in my day.
Reading the article made me reflect sentimentally on my time at Master Choi's Tae Kwon Do school. There is a tremendous sense of community and family involvement, and the Dojo was a place that really grounded me in a time when I could have gotten in even more trouble than I did.

There's a link to that school and the guy that taught Dante Judo. I'd be curious to see if you can find out anything DR
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a Japanese instructor in Chicago he learned from??
ReplyDeleteAny relation to this Choi here in Indianapolis?

Bob;
ReplyDeleteProbably no relation, Choi is like Smith or Jones in Korea.
But holy shit, that guy has a very strong background! That's the old school Korean martial artist I remember, as it should be.
Piesch; if you're reading this too you should go look at the site Bob linked to...

Hey there! I understand this is kind of off-topic but
ReplyDeleteI needed to ask. Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require
a large amount of work? I'm completely new to running a blog however I do write in my journal daily. I'd like to start a
blog so I will be able to share my experience and
views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog
owners. Thankyou!
