The Nanka Judo Yudanshakai, established in 1928, has been a cornerstone for judo in Southern California. Approved by Master Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, this organization fosters harmony among dojos and promotes the teachings of judo. Throughout its rich history, it has established numerous dojos and demonstrated resilience, especially during WWII, when judo continued to thrive even in relocation camps.
