Mrs. Judo to Screen at the SF Asian Art Museum on August 15th

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the community engagement series for MRS JUDO: Be Strong, Be Gentle, Be Beautiful!  We will kick-off this exciting new series at the Asian Art Museum on August 15th at 7pm. Click here for event details.

"In The Judo Moment", will begin with a screening of the movie, followed by a demonstration of “Ju-no-kata”, a signature form of Fukuda-Sensei.  A community panel will follow with filmmaker Yuriko Gamo Romer and guests: 2012 Olympic medalist Marti Malloy, historian Amy Fujiwara Shen, Ph.D., and judo instructor Wilina Monar of Soko Joshi Dojo.  We welcome the chance to touch on judo as a world sport, it's transmission of Japanese culture, and Fukuda-Sensei’s legacy for women in sports.

 Join us early to visit the current exhibition, "In The Moment: Japanese Art from the Larry Ellison Collection" at the Asian Art Museum.  A special evening admission is $5 from 5 to 9 pm; and  free to museum members.  Seating is available on a first come, first served basis.

Please help us spread the word & we hope to see you there!
