Judo teaches self discipline, physical fitness and confidence.

Here, we never use the word "can't". We always encourage our students to "try".

The Burnaby Judo Club was established in the mid sixties and has developed into one of the largest and strongest clubs on the West Coast.

Throughout the years, our club has produced an outstanding list of junior and senior national champions.

Of course, all athletes want to succeed in their sport. However, how many athletes are truly willing to make the commitment and follow the necessary steps required to achieve their goals?

30-year-old sandan Marco Chiaramonte of St. John's, Newfoundland has brought home a silver medal from the Deaflympic Games in Taipei, Taiwan. Chiaramonte, who fought in the men's -81kg division, faced a tough task in the final match and went the five-minute limit, losing by just a yuko (2-1) to Mongolian fighter Ochbadral Damdin. Chiaramonte beat Japanese fighter Eichi Minami and Woohyun Jeong from South Korea in the first round and semi-final respectively.

"I'm very pleased with my performance, and proud to have had the opportunity to represent Canada in Taipei," Chiaramonte said. Chiaramonte, who has been practicing judo since the age of 13, has been a member of the judo club in Burnaby, B.C. for the past year. He was accompanied in Taipei by his coach, Blair Bradbury, also of St. John's.

The 21st summer Deaflympics took place in Taipei, Taiwan September 5-15. More than 4,000 hearing-impaired athletes represented 91 countries in the Games, participating in 177 events.
