Support Our Mission
Washington Judo Academy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is on a mission to uplift the Olympic sport of Judo at the grassroots level, offering world-class training for all ages—from toddlers to seniors. Our programs range from recreational classes to ultra-competitive training, with many of our students ranked nationally and internationally.
At Washington Judo Academy, we host world-class athletes and coaches, including world champions and Olympians, to inspire and mentor our youth, sharing expertise that elevates their skills and fuels their passion. Our vibrant community is run entirely by dedicated volunteers with professional coaching credentials who tirelessly contribute to our students’ success and development.
Located in Houghton Village, Kirkland, next to the Google campus, we are seeking sponsors to help expand our reach and empower more students with the transformative power of Judo. Partner with us to support youth development, sportsmanship, and the growth of Judo as an Olympic sport in our community.
What Sets Us Apart:
- World-Class Training: We reinvest every dollar to bring world-class Judo to Kirkland, featuring Olympic and world-class athletes who inspire and uplift our students.
- International Programs: We organize exchange programs and training camps, with our most recent camp held in Tokyo, Japan, which involved over 50 participants.
- Young Leader Development: As a certified organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award, we recognize exceptional youth volunteers and foster leadership skills that prepare them to make a positive impact in their communities.
- Community Impact: We partner with local schools and support diverse groups, including refugees, low-income families, and special needs students, addressing community needs holistically.
- Innovation and Outreach: We adopt cutting-edge cross-training methods, collaborating with popular sports like wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to expand Judo’s reach in the United States.
There has never been a better time to give Judo a big push in the USA, with the next Olympics hosted in Los Angeles and all #1 ranked USA athletes automatically qualifying. Help us transform lives and prepare the next generation of Olympians right here in Kirkland. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our community and the future of Judo.
