Sensei Jay Watts from Capital City Judo put on a great coaching clinic. He went over lesson plans, lesson development and the importance of consistency and " bite sized chunks " in lesson planning. Thank You to Anchorage Dojo and Sensei Mark Langberg for hosting us and thanks to Jay for a fun and informative day on the mats!
