“The judo family never fails to impress me with its support and love. I feel every time I go home to my club, Pinewood. But you find it in every dojo, all over the world. Koka Kids just simply wouldn’t exist without the judo family. This page is an acknowledgment and thank you to friends and partners of Koka Kids. You’ve helped make it what it is today, and I can’t thank you all enough.”
Koka Kids works closely with to Everest Judo promoting sustainable judo in the Khumbu region of Nepal and also Bicicletas sin Fronteras who help children with education in Senegal by providing bikes to get the kids to school each day.
My Sensei, Don Werner
Coaches and Clubs
The number of coaches and clubs who have supported me and Koka Kids over the past three decades is simply staggering and humbling. It is you that have taken Koka Kids into your clubs and I thank you all.
