“One heart, one beat.” For former European medallist and major of the Hungarian Defence Forces Szabolcs Krizsán, those four words capture the camaraderie at the heart of military life, and the significance of bringing Europe’s uniformed services together on the tatami.

Police Judo cadet and junior athletes Fernando, Tobin, and Diego completed an incredible 14-day international training tour through Switzerland and France alongside Team Judo BC athletes and coaches.

The trip included world-class training at the Sergei Judo Camp in Fiesch, Switzerland, and international training camp hosted by Dojo Béglais in Bordeaux, France. The trip also provided the invaluable opportunity to exchange randori with world-class athletes, gaining experience. Mostly the athletes had the privilege of learning from renowned instructors including Sensei Hiroshi Katanishi of Switzerland, double Olympic and World medallist- Udo Quellmalz of Germany, Haruka Funakubo of Japan and Safarov Orkhan of Azerbaijan.

An unforgettable experience that combined world-class judo with lifelong memories. This journey provided high-level technical training, the opportunity to build international friendships, meaningful cultural exchange, and incredible sightseeing experiences—from hiking in the Swiss Alps and taking a surfing lesson on the French coast to exploring the beautiful streets of Paris.

Thank you to everyone who made this amazing opportunity possible. 🥋🇨🇦🇨🇭🇫🇷

In the early hours of Saturday, July 11, a structure fire tore through the Nanaimo Judo Club's dojo at 110 Machleary St. on the Sid Gyro Park site, damaging the building's roof, exterior walls, front stairs, and entrance. While the club awaits access to the building pending RCMP and insurance investigations, extensive water and smoke damage throughout the interior is expected, likely meaning mats, equipment, and other essentials will need to be replaced. The club has halted training indefinitely and is now working with the City of Nanaimo to find a temporary space to keep their community moving and training together. For decades, this dojo has been a home for judoka of all ages across Nanaimo, building not just athletes but discipline, resilience, and lifelong friendships. Now this tight-knit club needs our support to cover relocation costs, temporary facility rental, and the replacement of equipment and supplies not covered by insurance. Every donation, big or small, will help the Nanaimo Judo Club get back on the mat and rebuild what the fire took. Please consider giving generously and sharing this campaign to help this resilient community bounce back stronger than ever.
