Nanaimo Judo Club - History of Judo in Nanaimo - Dojo Sensei Mateus

The Nanaimo Judo Club  Dojo Should be Officially  Named " Dojo  Sensei Carlos Mateus "

Sensei Carlos Mateus  in 1980  found the dojo  Sanshiro Judo Club at the  Giro Youth  Centre  producing  fine black belts .
Sensei Mateus  attending a request from  late Sensei Joe McPeek  shared and  amalgamate of the dojo with the Nanaimo judo club,  that was  struggling to find a dojo  after a flood  on the building under the Queens nightclub - on China  steps , damaged the club straw mats "
" Dojo  is a family tradition - Usually a Black Belt when  ready to coach  judo he/she goes  to a Neighbourhood  and found it's own dojo to creating competition "   the rest is History that can not be changed"


Futsal Canada Blog is not just about futsal ,  it is about sport and Judo is my first sport . I still brag about a gold medal that I won  in the Brazilian National Judo Team competitions  as well as  have developed the Dojo  that is now the home of Nanaimo Judo club  - where I spent near two decades coaching judo with Canadian friends before moved to coach futsal at the international level-  that includes winning for Canada the First North America Futsal Cup 1984 , beating USA in the final game - Canada Futsal 8 vs 3 USA Futsal and the Aboriginal Cup between Canada Vs Australia - Canada National Aboriginal Futsal Team  won the best of three games series - played in Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver .

Judo is a great sport for kids  - recommended  
On the back roll club instructors and judocas that assist coaching at the judo club , some of them still competing at the provincial and  national level abide by Judo Canada , Judo BC and the rules  of the International Judo Federation  .

Nanaimo Judo Club year end  In Club Tournament . " We are  proud of you son Lucas Mateus , You were  the only one from the beginners class - Mondays and Wednesday  to fight with the advanced ones of Tuesday and Thursday  class judocas that have been competing at the Judo BC province level . Lucas  won the first match with a Wazari  1/ 2 point before   finishing  his opponent with full point  ippon   Eri Seoi Nage" .  Lucas started Judo in Brazil, but. Lucas has been away from competition  for quite some time ,  Lucas Judo  class  on Mondays and Wednesdays is more for beginner and shiai - fight standing is not part of the program ,  but , Lucas shown  that the judo technique he  learned  in Brazil works anywhere- "In judo we never stop learning from one another".  -  copy and paste the link below  to watch Lucas first  Judo contest in Canada with a Wazari and a Ippon just like his old man -  Seoi Otoshi - right leg blocking and lifting the opponent.    Nen'oshi
