Arrasate Judo Elkartea will celebrate the first edition of a gathering this Sunday, bringing together more than 200 judokas aged between five and 12 from various parts of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. The event will take place from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, divided by age categories.
Beyond competition, the Eskolarteko I. Judo Topaketa aims to foster the spirit of this martial art from its initiation stages, prioritizing coexistence, technical learning, and the transmission of the discipline's values. The Arrasate club has opted for a format focused on shared training and enjoyment for athletes, coaches, and families, moving away from traditional competition.
Respect, friendship, and camaraderie
Throughout the morning, judokas will engage in exercises, dynamics, and experiences in an atmosphere marked by "respect, friendship, and camaraderie." Upon conclusion, they will receive a commemorative medal and a bag with water and fruit as a memento of the event.
From Arrasate Judo Elkartea, they highlight the enthusiasm and work put into this first edition. "We have prepared this 'topaketa' with great eagerness and wanted to share it with our friendly clubs," they state. They will be joined by representatives from the schools of Legazpi, Zarautz, Azkoitia, Azpeitia, Zumaia, and Ondarroa for this Sunday's event.
Currently, Arrasate Judo Elkartea has over 60 judokas. The club remains committed to grassroots work and developing young talent.
They have expressed special thanks for the collaboration of the City Council, as well as the support from sponsors and collaborators, whose backing has been crucial in launching this first edition that will see the Uarkape court dressed in white.
