Telling Our Story: One Ippon at a Time
What is Ink-2-Ippon?
Ink-2-Ippon is an online space to post meditations about martial arts philosophy, leadership and management, and motivating information about running a nonprofit charity judo club that closes the gaps of marginalization in our communities.
For several years, my father and I have wanted to share the stories of the Riverside Youth Judo Club to the world, but our both demanding jobs have made efforts challenging. We hope to use this space together to tells stories, provide facts of other like-minded judo or martial arts clubs, or simply write some thoughtful words people may appreciate during their time on the site!
