/Milestone check/
19 June 2026 marks ORA Judo Club's 1st anniversary since ROS recognised us as an official society in Singapore. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been with us one way or another throughout this journey, be it alumni, students, coaches or teachers.
As we celebrate this milestone, we encourage everyone to continue your judo journey with us—join our trainings, participate in club activities, help mentor our juniors, and contribute to building a stronger and more vibrant judo community. We also welcome more volunteers to join our committee. PM me if you are interested 😊
Together, let's continue learning, supporting one another, and growing ORA Judo Club for many years to come!
