With over 100 athletes in the Judo club this would not be possible without the great training partners all the kids have to work with. The coaching staff consists of Olympians, Olympic Coaches, National Champions and National Team Members.

We look forward to bringing our team to Texas for 2 competitions at the end of November to continue to develop champions in life and champions in Judo.
