Jan. 5.  Happy New Year and Note from Sensei Brezhnev:
 
Dear Dynamo Memebers,
 
We have had a tremendous year thanks to all of you who have cared enough for the Dynamo Club to allow of our MMA Program to go forward.
 
For all of you, who did not pay your 2010 DYNAMO Club membership ($ 200 per year), please see Sensei Brezhnev soon to determine if you need to renew/sign up immediately.   
 
IMPORTANT REMINDER for members wanting to get Black Belt or advanced ranking in Judo or SAMBO.  If you want to preserve your current ranking, and get promoted this year, you need to renew or sign up for USJA (for Judo) and AASF (American Amateur SAMBO Federation) memberships, which is $ 50 each per year per person.  If you let your membership expire, you will have to start your ranking from ZERO again, or pay a lot more to get your current rankings re-instated.  This is USJA/AASF rules, not ours.  We hope this won't happen to anyone.

December 9.   Four Judokas medal for Dynamo Club in the 2009 USJA Judo Winter Nationals.


Five members of the Beverly Hills based Dynamo Sports Club participated in the Judo Winter Nationals

held in La Verne, CA on Saturday, December 6, 2009.


Individual gold medals were awarded to Bagus Rahadian, who competed in the senior elite category, and

Sensei Boris Brezhnev, the team coach who competed in the master category. Armand Farrokh, due to a

questionable disqualification (the sleeves of his kimono were said to be approximately half an inch short),

was awarded a silver medal, despite the fact that he was undefeated. Impressively, Payton Bahk received

a bronze medal at his very first Judo competition. Both Farrokh and Bahk fought in the senior category.

James Teele fought in the master category but was injured in early rounds, forced to forfeit by injury default.
