Kizuna Judo Club is located in Maple Ridge, BC.

Kizuna Judo Club's main goals are to help people to reach their potential both mentally and physically, as well as to create social bonds and connections that will last a lifetime. Kizuna Judo Club prides itself on high quality instruction, a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, and an environment that fosters growth, social connections, confidence, and leadership. The instructors and club are certified and supported by Judo BC and Judo Canada. About Judo:

Judo is an Olympic martial art focused on throwing and grappling. In judo, practitioners (called Judoka), compete in individual matches to throw, pin, or submit their opponents. Judo is founded on the principles of maximum efficiency and minimal effort, which means that judo favours practitioners of all sizes and abilities! Judo has been an Olympic Martial Art and sport since the Tokyo games in 1964. As a result, judo is practiced internationally and has a significant following worldwide. Judoka often travel to learn and compete with international friends and rivals! Why Judo? Judo provides a great form of activity for both children and adults of all abilities. Classes involve full body workouts and activities that develop both athletic and self-defence skills, while also building confidence, discipline, respect, and strong moral values. Kizuna Judo Club offers both recreational and competitive options, with defined skill pathways to lead your growth. Judo, while a contact sport, is also very safe for children and adults because of the emphasis it places on taking care of one's partners, safe technical execution, and breakfalls.

This year, Kizuna Judo Club introduced the Kyuzo Mifune Memorial Scholarship and tonight we happily awarded it to Evelina Khazhevskaia!

Named in honor of Judan Kyuzo Mifune, this internal sponsorship holds deep meaning for Kizuna. Mifune hails from the same Japanese hometown as our Sensei, and it was judo that gave a young, restless Mifune his life focus. He went on to become Kano Jigoro’s top student and is widely regarded as possibly the greatest judoka to ever live. Inspired by his legacy, this scholarship removes financial barriers for one young club athlete ready to commit completely to a year of intense training and personal growth to see just how good they can get.

It includes (for one year):
-All club fees
-All local training camps
-All local tournaments
-Provincials and Nationals
-Edmonton international
-One White Kimono Fighter gi in Red, Gold, or Black
-One Kimono Fighter Blue gi
-Special winner Shoulder Patch
-Certificate of Award

What is expected:
- Commitment: Maintain a minimum 90% attendance rate for all technical and conditioning practices.
- Competition: Compete in all tournaments designated by the coaching staff.
- Leadership: Act as a positive role model on the mat (Jita Kyoei).
- Club Contribution: Assist with junior classes when requested by the coaching staff.

Congratulations, Evelina! We can’t wait to see how far you’ll go this year!

And thank you to our amazing community for your generosity.

Excited to announce our first annual Mifune Scholarship.. this is to give the opportunity for a young judoka to have an financially unburdened year to lock in and push themselves (with our help) to being the best possible athlete and version of themselves they can be. Believing in each other and helping each other is what Kizuna is all about. This is the start of something great.
