Northglenn Judo Club

Congratulations to Lucas Mignogna, Colleen Sattler, née Matthews, and Martin Vorum who will be jointly taking over as our club’s “Head Sensei”. They will be taking over for sensei Warren Agena who is stepping aside after faithfully leading the club for the past 17 years. Although “retiring” from his position of head sensei, sensei Warren will remain on the board of Northglenn Judo Club.

Longtime member of our club Robert “Bobby” Yamashita was recently made Master-at-Arms for the United States Navy:

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
