We are pleased to announce that we now offer four mixed judo courses for children between 6 and 11 years old.

It’s a great success for our project. We started with courses for Ukrainian children. Through our taster days, where kids from Essen primary schools came to visit, we were able to attract over 50 new children to the sport. This fulfilled our wish to offer inclusive courses. Our judo program now has 135 children from 16 nations. We are delighted that children from all over the world train together, learn from each other, and have fun together!

Another success is that in August, 35 children successfully passed their exam for the yellow-white or yellow belt. We congratulate them wholeheartedly on this achievement. With their yellow belts, they are now eligible to participate in city championships and tournaments.
