Our nationally-ranked competition team. Participation is by invitation only.
The goal of Team Hanabi is the development of our judo students. Expectations differ by age, but one principle holds for everyone: we show our belief in ourselves by always trying our best.
The purpose of the team is an enriching experience — the satisfaction of hard work, the challenge of competition and the deepening of friendships. Every member is expected to both win and lose matches; both are experiences that build character.
Coaches: Yurii Buhrov, Dan Augustine, Chris Jones and Hayato Nagashima, with other coaches helping through the season.
If you cannot do everything: tell Sensei Dan Augustine and we will work with you. Persistence is one of the strengths we build in our athletes, so leaving mid-season is a serious disappointment — but talking to us always comes first.
February through the June in-class tournament.
February through the America’s Cup Championship, July 5–7.
Team members receive a Team Hanabi patch for the left shoulder of the judogi, a team t-shirt and a custom back patch. Team shorts or pants worn with the team shirt are required; hoodies and jackets are also available.
Team Hanabi is invitation only — but every member started as a beginner on the same mats. Come train with us.
