Blue Tigers Judo Club proudly held its 2026 Belt Ceremony at the Sports Hall of Al Egla Compound in Lusail, bringing together students, families, and coaches to celebrate the progress achieved throughout the year.
The club was honored by the presence of Ms. Maki Yamaguchi, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Japan in Qatar, who kindly distributed the new belts to the promoted judokas. Her participation added a special significance to the event and highlighted the strong connection between judo and its Japanese roots.

The ceremony was not limited to the awarding of belts. Students also demonstrated a selection of judo techniques and participated in a kata demonstration, showcasing the technical skills, discipline, and spirit they have developed through their training. The performances allowed families and guests to appreciate the depth of judo beyond competition, including its traditions, principles, and educational values.

Throughout the season, our judokas have shown commitment, perseverance, and respect both on and off the tatami. Their promotion reflects not only technical progress but also their embodiment of the values that form the foundation of Kodokan Judo.

Blue Tigers Judo Club extends its sincere gratitude to Ms. Maki Yamaguchi, the Embassy of Japan in Qatar, our coaching team, volunteers, and families for their support and contribution to the success of this memorable event.
