We are very thankful for all the people that support our family!
Sometimes those people are not the ones that usually are in the pictures but they are always there when we need them.

2026 Canadian Open Championships!!

It was a tough tournament for everyone but I'm sure they had a great experience and they will be ready for the next season!!

Great job by Ruby for getting the Gold medal in the U16 +70kg and the Bronze medal in the U18 +70kg categories.

Niamh and Nazar ended up in the 5th place in their respective categories.

Amaya, Sh**un, Bennet, Fedor and Jaxon ended in the 7th place in their categories.

This tournament was also the last tournament to a good friend, Sergio Pessoa as the Provincial Judo Head Coach for Quebec.
I've learned tons from him since I started as a Head Coach for MB.
Thank you, Sergio for everything!! enjoy your retirement!!

We move on to the next season!!

Happy Mother's Day!!
