My name is Haja János, I am the founder and manager of the BOREKO Judo Club. Besides my personal achievements of winning several titles and two silver medals in world championships, I am very proud to teach, train and prepare a growing team of 50 people, consisting of mainly children and young adults, for national and international championships. Our contestants gained fantastic results in these tournaments, and I am sure that we will have similarly delightful experiences in the future.

I have huge dreams about judo, and knowing the management of the Society, I will be able to make them true.

Robin Bodnár, President visited the Judo Club of BOREKO Association. He made strengthening and motivation training for the children participating to the training. Our young competitors could learn in excellent mood, but with intensive practices. We appreciate them, since both their attitude and their endurance are exemplary. We can say thank You to their trainer, János Haja, the manager of the BOREKO Association’s Judo Club. Following the training, we took part at a common dinner, where Zoltán Papp, the Vice Mayor of Létavértes held a toast. It can be clearly determined, that the Judo Club is continuously developing, its members are motivated, strong and are going to face a great future!
