Congratulations to Katina Jimenez on earning her Shodan in Judo today! It has been a 13 year journey to earning her black belt, during which she has shown incredible passion for the sport and mastery of all required techniques. Most importantly, she generously dedicates her time to what matters most: training the next generation, and inspiring countless young girls to follow her path in Judo. Sensei Katina is an integral part of Champion Judo, and indeed, a true Champion herself. Congratulations on your promotion Sensei Katina!!!

May you rest in peace, Sensei Becerra. ✨🙏✨ Champions, please take a moment to say a prayer and thank Him for the amazing work in building Becerra Judo Club. Our Judo family has lost a great friend.
It is with profound sadness that the Becerra Judo Club shares the news of the passing of our beloved Sensei Bert Becerra.
Sensei Bert was far more than a coach — he was a mentor, a guide, and a cherished friend to countless athletes, families, and members of this community. His dedication to the sport of judo and, more importantly, to the people who practice it, left an indelible mark on generations of students who were fortunate enough to learn from him.
His passion, wisdom, and unwavering commitment were the foundation upon which this club was built. The lessons he instilled — in discipline, respect, and perseverance — will live on in every athlete he ever touched.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family during this incredibly difficult time. We ask that our community keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Sensei Bert's spirit will forever be present on every mat, in every bow, and in the heart of every judoka he inspired. He will be deeply and forever missed.
🙏 Rest in peace, Sensei.
