Princeton Judo

Over the weekend of 9/20 and 9/21 Princeton Judo had 11 Judoka compete in the 42nd Annual East Coast Judo Championship. I would like to acknowledge Jaswinder Singh, David OK, Cory Cuomo, Robert Story, Mark Oconer, Jun Kitagawa and Steven Levites for their hard work, dedication and spirit of competition. I would also like to congratulate Andre Pollack, Sean Ericksson, Alaine Abuan, Kory Beach and Michelle Arias for their individual accomplishment of placing in the tournament. Listed below are the tournament results.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
