Are there any good judo clubs in Seattle? My younger brother moved there and I am just planning ahead for when I eventually visit him.

The Seattle area has a lot of judo. Budokan is great. Bert Mackey and Istvan Lovas run tough workouts from what I hear. A place to bang heads. Seattle Dojo is the oldest in the U.S. Further south is Ippon Dojo, which has produced really good young players- Travis Stevens and Robert Davis. From what I've seen, the Harai family that runs it teach very progressive judo.
Hey FatBuddha,
What's going on? When are you going to Seattle?
I may be going sometime in August (3rd wk).
