2010 NAGA Champion
David J. Martin with James "Junior" Clark. Junior has won this championship before and would have won
his division again, but everyone he was scheduled to fight chickened out
at the last second (not kidding) and Junior won't take a title without
beating people up for it. Click on the above picture to see Junior's Nage no Kata.
This
picture is from the 2009 AAU National Judo Championships.
Shown

The
local CBS affiliate did a really great feature story on our

couple of different stations. Below are a few screen shots from
the interview.
