This will be the last day of the judo semester for the children's classes.

Summer sessions

Starting July 2, Hiro’s Judo Club will be holding classes for children (under 14) and for teen/adults (14 and older) on Tuesdays/Thursdays. They are totally optional as we would like the athletes to also have time to enjoy summer vacations. These will be for current members (not new beginners) and will have less formal teaching than regular classes. There is no fee for these classes.

Children U10/U12/U14 Tue/Thu 6:00-7:00pm

Youth/Adults Tue/Thu 7:00-8:45pm

All Sport One Day – Saturday June 20

Hiro’s Judo Club participates in the City of Calgary’s All Sport One Day event to show children our judo program. This year we will be having judo sessions presented at the Genesis Centre in NE Calgary. We will need about 5-6 students (and a few parents) to help with our sessions. We will be holding 2 sessions for the 6-11 age group and 2 sessions for the 12-17 age group. If you are willing to help with these sessions, please let us know.

Thanks,

Hiro's Judo Club

What an amazing year for Emiliya Aliyeva. She won two gold medals at the Ontario Open, a gold and a silver at the Quebec Open, a gold and silver medal at the Edmonton International, a gold and silver at the Pacific International and two bronze medals at the Cadet and Junior Pan Am Championships in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Finally, she capped off the season with three gold medals (U18 70kg, U21 -78kg, and Senior -78kg) at the 2026 Open Nationals Judo Championships in Calgary! Truly an outstanding performance!

Congratulations, Emiliya!!

Hello Everyone:

Due to low attendance, the Tuesday/Thursday beginner teen/adult class is now closed and all participants may continue by attending the adult class on Monday/Wednesday 8:00 - 9:30 pm. This change will allow for better instruction.
Thank you,
