Aka Shika Judo Club hasn't added a story.
The Red Deer (Aka Shika) Judo Club was established in Red Deer shortly after Judo was first included in the 1964 Olympic Games. Judo, “The Gentle Way” was founded by Jigoro Kano and operates on the principles of Seiryoku Zenyo (maximum efficient use of power) and Jitu Kyoei (mutual benefit and wellbeing). While only a few individuals reach the highest levels of competition the physical and mental disciple required to practice the art of Judo results in tremendous benefits for the participants and society as a whole.
With an average of 60 members annually over the past 49 years The Club has produced a number of notable athletes who have gone on to national and international success. More importantly hundreds of children and adults in Central Alberta have reaped the physical and mental benefits associated with practicing Judo.
Over the past 20 years the Red Deer Judo club has faced significant obstacles in finding a suitable permanent location. Our challenge lies in keeping our class fees affordable while managing the cost associated with leasing space large enough to hold practices safely. To date the Judo Club has invested significant time and energy partnering with sports organizations and the City of Red Deer to secure suitable space. Unfortunately these initiatives proved unsuccessful and we are still without a permanent space. We are currently exploring options looking for a solution which we can finance through fundraising and accessing grants.
The “Dough for the Dojo” Capital Campaign has been established to find a permanent home for the Red Deer Judo Club by our 50th Anniversary in 2018. Red Deer’s central location is ideal for hosting provincial and western Canadian training camps as well as tournaments. A proper training facility would attract these events to Red Deer which would provide economic stimulus to the City’s economy. The 2019 Canada Winter Games is an example of one of these events for which Judo will be showcased.
Not only is the Red Deer Judo Club a registered non-profit organization but is run on a 100% volunteer basis with all the coaches and administrative staff donating their skills and time. Your assistance in helping us reach our goal would be greatly appreciated.
