Masashi EBINUMA, IJF and AJJF Athlete Commission member said, "The cancellation of the 2021 Elementary School National Championships brought a lot of hardship to the judo community. When I was a child I remember preparing for a competition and it was unexpectedly cancelled. It left a hole in my heart; my goals disappeared at that moment and I recall being very disappointed. Looking back now, the experiences during my youth made me the person and judoka I am today. I want judo children to fight through these difficult times, persist and persevere, love judo."
To help the judo children, the AJJF Athletes Commission decided to have this goodwill auction. Items can also be bid on and purchased from outside Japan with a credit card Be sure to check all three waves of auctions.
