This will be the first tournament for some of our newer members, and for some of our brown belts, perhaps the chance for them to earn points toward their black belts.  We wish them the best.
 
 
Feb. 20.  There is a California state MMA competition (the only 1) on April 6th at Santa Ana, CA, including an youth division (for most DYNAMO members) which allows grappling and striking (but not to the head).  The event is organized by Amatuer Pankration League.  For more information please visit http://www.fightleague.org/2008CAPankrationChampionships.html.  Thanks to Mike Cernovich for the lead. 
 
Feb. 20.  DYNAMO Club is now a chartered member of USA Wrestling (our country's main wrestling organization and organizer of Olympic teams, national competitions, etc.).  Thanks to coach Villegas for linking us.   
 
Feb. 20.  There is NO Practice tomorrow Feb. 21.  Our room will be used by the city for some event. 
 
 
Feb. 20.  A final reminder for people interested in competing at the Goltz Dojo Judo Tournament in early March.  If you intend to compete, please let sensei Brezhnev know today.  Participation in the event will help your Judo ranking tramendously, so we encourage all members to go.  Fee is $ 10, plus you will need to be a member of US Judo Association ($ 50 annual fee). 
 
 
Feb. 20.  We welcome Alan Cariddi (the one in blue uniform in the picture below) to DYNAMO Club.  Alan is a 2nd degree Black belt in Judo, and won 2nd place NCAA in 2004 while at Georgetown University (5th place in US Senior National competition in 2002). 
 
 
Feb 20.  With the Beverly HIlls High School wrestling completing their 2008 season, we will start daily warm-up around 3:30 pm weekdays, and practice from 4-6 pm.  If you like additional conditioning, taping or guidance, show up early. 
 
 
February 11.  First photo of 2008.  With many of our newest members.  Stay tuned for more photos. 
 
 
 
February 8.  A revision in practice schedule.  We will have practice on Friday Feb 15th (4-6) and Saturday (10-12).  Some DYNAMO members will be competing at the CIF Wrestling Finals but should not interfere with our daily practice schedules. 
 
 
February 8.  DYNAMO welcomes new members:  Mikey Shlomof, Jimmy Shomof, Kevin Youssian, Daniel Berman, Sky Lucci, Christian Paul and Eliot Pourtavosi.  They are all students at Beverly Hills High School.  Photos and info coming soon. 
 
February 8.  We are adding new equipment to complement our wrestling and mixed martial art training.  Two punching bags (1 light, 1 heavy) have been installed and ready-to-use.  And we have ordered multiple, weighed practice dummies (for throwing and grappling).  And thanks to members for bringing in their punch practice dummy (thanks Alex) and boxing gloves (thanks Mike).  We encourage and thank all members/parents for bringing extra equipment to share with us, and we hope to add more pieces for this new year. 
 
 
February 5.  Newest DYNAMO Club Judo and SAMBO rankings are posted.  We are happy to announce that we have now 14 Judo Brown-belts, and we hope this year's competitions will help them all get closer to their goals/black belts.
