On September 14th 10am-3pm we're also hosting a USA Judo Coaching clinic to renew/certify new coaches. Just make sure you have your safesport and background checks done beforehand.

IMHO Katame No Kata should be taught to orange belts and required for green. It gives a very good foundation for Ne Waza. It makes no sense to learn it only at dan grades.

I agree, but that's what the organizers wanted to promote it as (we're just offering the space), dan grade isn't required for people to show up. They actually tried to hold regular classes before but not many showed up, and those who did show up wanted to do nage no kata.
