Good luck to Tami and Sydney who will compete in London this weekend with Team BC and Team Canada!! Everyone at the PGJC is very proud of both of you!

Thank you to all the generous sponsors that helped make this trip possible for Tami and Sydney, and to all their training partners who pushed them to work hard.

 

Branden and Ryan graded to Shodan (first degree black belt) in June but just received their official Judo Canada certificates.  Congratulations to you both!!

Prince George judokas brought home a haul of medals from youth provincials a couple of weeks ago, including Tami Goto who won two gold medals. She won both the under 16 and under 18 divisions in the 48 kg weight class. But she has her sights set on another medal later this year.
