The Rio 2016 Story – Budokan’s Olympic Team Members, Nathan and Josh Katz – by Rob

As club members and parents of club members you already know the power of judo - balance, awareness, confidence, and knowing how to land safely. Now we’re bringing those benefits to older adults through “Dynamic Balance for Life” - a supportive 6-week program designed to help people build balance, sharpen reflexes, and learn how to move and fall safely.

Please see a great article on the club’s 2025 highlights in the local news.

As previously mentioned, we would like to stimulate club membership growth early in the year. To support this objective, the club will reward eligible club members who introduce new members to the club by giving them a Judo uniform (Judogi).

Our first club-hosted competition for 2026 is just a month away.

Budokan’s annual premier event was held in December. We presented 53 awards to 66 recipients.

Next weekend, Budokan will have a strong representation of athletes at the first JA event series competition for 2026 at the ACTIO.
