I'm excited to share something special on the calendar this summer. From Monday, July 13 through Friday, July 17, we are hosting a week-long Judo training camp led by Nick Delpopolo — 2× US Olympian, 2012 US Olympic Trials Champion, 11× USA Judo World Team Member, and Pan American Games medalist. Opportunities to train directly with an athlete at this level don't come around often, and we are bringing it right onto our mats here in Fredericksburg.

The camp is open to W2WMA students ages 7 and up, and we're also welcoming students from other judo schools — so feel free to share this with friends and training partners outside the dojo.

What the week looks like:

🥋 Mornings (Mon–Fri) — 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
⏰ Afternoons (Mon, Wed, Fri) — 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
🌙 Evenings (Tue, Thu) — 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
🏆 Saturday, July 18 — Summer In-House Tournament to close out the week

The tournament on Saturday is included with camp registration — no separate sign-up, no extra fee. Your judoka trains all week with an Olympian, then gets to test what they've learned in competition the next day.

The details:

💵 $150 for the full week, all sessions, tournament included
👥 Ages 7 and up — W2WMA students and visiting players welcome
📍 Wall 2 Wall Martial Arts, Fredericksburg
📅 There's no hard registration deadline, but mat space is limited

If your judoka has been working hard this year, this is the kind of week that can move them forward in a way regular class time simply can't. Different body type, different style, world-class technique, and an instructor who has stood on the Olympic mat twice — they will leave the week a more complete judoka.

Stop by the front desk to register, or reply to this email and I'll get you set up.

Look forward to seeing your judoka on the mat in July.

🥋 You Have 168 Hours in Every Week.

Spending just 3–4 hours a week in the dojo is only about 1.8%–2.4% of your entire week.

That means you still have more than 97% of your week for work, family, responsibilities, and everything else life demands.

But here’s the powerful part: that small percentage of time can improve the majority of your week.

For adults, those few hours can mean:

💪 More strength and energy
🧠 Less stress and a clearer mind
🔥 Greater confidence
⚖️ Better balance in your life
🤝 Time spent with a positive community
🥋 A chance to challenge yourself and keep growing

You don’t need to live in the dojo to benefit from martial arts. You just need to consistently invest a small portion of your week into becoming stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Give the dojo 2% of your week, and it can positively influence the other 98%.

Stop saying you don’t have time. Start deciding that your health, growth, and well-being are worth the time.

🥋 Get on the mat. Your week will be better because of it.

🥋 You’re Not Too Old to Start Judo!

Think Judo is only for kids or lifelong athletes? Think again.

Age is not a factor. You don’t need experience, perfect fitness, or a sports background. You only need the courage to step onto the mat and get started.

Adult Judo can help you:

💪 Improve your strength and conditioning
🧠 Build confidence and discipline
🥋 Learn practical skills
🤝 Meet great people
🔥 Challenge yourself in a whole new way

Everyone starts as a beginner—and there is no better time to begin than today.

Stop wondering whether you can do it. Walk through the door, step onto the mat, and take your first class.

All you have to do is get started.

A thing W2WMA parents say a lot:

"My kid has friends here from schools I never would've connected with otherwise."

That's because the dojo doesn't sort kids by zip code, grade, or sports team. It sorts them by who shows up and who works hard.

A nine-year-old from Stafford trains alongside a twelve-year-old from Spotsylvania trains alongside a fourteen-year-old from Caroline. They all listen to the same instructor — Sensei Nick Delpopolo — and they all leave with the same lesson on the same Tuesday night.

That kind of social mixing doesn't exist in most kids' lives anymore. It exists here.
