John Gage sensei from the Japanese Martial Arts Center (JMAC) in Ann Arbor, Michigan and sensei Warren Agena have worked to establish a “sister dojo” relationship between our two clubs. Northglenn Judo Club members interested in practicing judo while traveling to the Ann Arbor region are encouraged to visit the JMAC. For details on location and practice times, visit the JMAC website at: http://japanesemartialartscenter.com/ Correspondingly, all members from the JMAC visiting the Denver area are more than welcome to practice at our dojo.

It is with a profound sadness that we announce that Dr. Dennis “Doc” McGuire has lost his battle with cancer and the West Nile virus. Northglenn Judo Club has lost a great leader and friend. Doc was always positive and shared his optimism and wisdom without hesitation. Doc will be missed by everyone at our club, the judo community, and many others whose lives he touched.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Thursday, October 17th at 4:00 pm at the El Jebel Shiners Hall, 4625 West 50th Avenue, Denver, CO 80212
