Congratulations Newly Promoted Black Belts!

We are proud to share that our most recent grading was the largest ever held in our province’s history!

With an impressive number of candidates, this grading surpassed the previous record set in June 2004, when 30 judoka successfully got promoted. This historic achievement reflects the growing strength, dedication, and talent within our community.

Congratulations to all the candidates and thank you to the instructors, evaluators, volunteers, and supporters who made this possible. Your commitment to the sport continues to elevate judo in our province and beyond.

We look forward to celebrating many more successes together!
