What we stand for
Judo is a sport, an art, a discipline, a pastime, a fitness program, a means of self-defence — and a way of life. What is learned on the mat carries over at home, at school, at work and at play. These are the principles we hold our clubs, coaches and events to.
Sportsmanship
Play by the rules, bow to your opponent, and shake hands whichever way the match goes.
Fair play
Every judoka gets the same rules, the same officiating and the same shot at the podium.
A safe place to train
Screened coaches, clear conduct rules, and a dojo where nobody has to put up with harm.
Program excellence
Certified coaching, real progression, and gradings that mean the same thing in every club.
Integrity
Decisions made openly, and governance documents anyone can read for themselves.
Leadership and respect
Volunteers who lead by example, and respect that runs both ways between mat and coach.
Board of directors
Judo NB is run by a volunteer board — an executive, a director for each zone in the province, and the committees that handle grading, refereeing, kata, athlete development and communications.
18 volunteers currently serve.
