A Memorable Experience on May 18, 2025

The May 18, 2025, event was truly a remarkable experience for the parents of our judoka members came together, sharing a warm and uplifting atmosphere. The gathering was enriched by the insights of one of our esteemed fellow judokas, Coach and Professor of the University of the East, Dianne Rodriguez.

Her wisdom and experience sparked meaningful conversations among the parents, offering valuable perspectives on how to nurture and support their children’s love for Judo. The exchange of thoughts and experiences created a sense of community and inspired everyone to continue fostering this shared passion.

The Central Judo Club would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Sensei Diane Rodriguez hor her unwavering support and guidance to the club.

Today’s seminar was a valuable learning experience. It is truly an achievement to see our players gain knowledge about nutritious food choices, as proper nutrition is the primary source of energy and plays a vital role in strengthening the immune system—essential for optimal training and performance.

Aligned with the theme, “Pinggan Pinoy, Pinggan Panalo”

We extend our sincere gratitude to the UST Nutrition and Dietetics students for generously sharing their expertise with our players.

Sunday training gives us lessons we earn through effort. In judo, the greatest challenge is within ourselves — and we must overcome it to succeed.”
