Visiting the studio for a Training Dojo

This is a photo of John’s after school kids program (Centennial School, Saint John). Recently they were brought over to his studio for a class. John wanted them to see a training Dojo. He also gave them his studio towels (you can see them holding them).

Elizabeth from Urban Deli also had her staff bring them up food after class. They loved it!

This program is sponsored by Judo Canada’s ECLIPSE program, “Children at risk.”

Gold winners at the Shimpokai Judo Club kids' tournament.

Gold winners at the Shimpokai Judo Club kids' tournament.

Last weekend (Feb. 11 and 12, 2012) John attended a kids tournament at Shimpokai Judo Club. And it was a fabulous time.

In the picture to the left, you’ll see Allee Bezeau, Avery Bezeau, Riley Bezeau and Conner Wilson, four young judo enthusiasts.

All four take additional training at John’s studio … and all won gold! That’s a pretty amazing accomplishment, but no surprise.

These are four pretty amazing young people.

Allee and Avery are from the KV Judo Club. Conner is from the Shimpokai club and Riley is from John’s (Kamiza Judo). Our hats are off to all of them and everyone who attended.

It was just one wonderful weekend.
