Congratulations to EBJI’s newest Shodan (first degree ), Saiya!

Saiya started judo at EBJI when she was only 4 years old.

Now at the age of 16 she is a multiple-time Junior National Champion and recent winner of the Athlete Scholar of the Year Award.

Above all her accolades, Saiya is a dedicated and respectful hard-worker who is a role model for other students at the dojo.

She’s currently a junior in high school with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian.

Congratulations Saiya! Well deserved!
