Testimonial:  “I trained at the Ottawa Judo Club for over 5 years and went from being a shy insecure person to a Nationally ranked competitor.  I trained up to 5 times a week and loved pushing myself in all aspects of my life.  One of the benefits of being on the Competition Judo Teaming is the sense of family and the fun that goes with traveling together and competing together.  I am now off to University applying the skills I learned as a competitive athlete to the next challenging chapter of my life.”
