Judo For The World - Zambia

After Japan, Cuba, Brazil, Turkey and Australia, the sixth episode of the Judo for the World series features Zambia in the southern part of Africa. Despite the sometimes difficult living conditions and challenges that the African youth encounter on a daily basis, judo is a major social changer. During a week the IJF followed several characters whose lives has been positively impacted by the sport.

Fr Jude McKenna who brought Judo to Zambia is my uncle, unfortunately he had to come home to Ireland because of failing eye sight.

Como cambian las personas una vez que pisan un tatami, el compromiso, la sencilles y la humildad es la disciplina basica de este deporte, cuan orgullo me siento.
