Pasi Laurén Seminar

A great day of judo, learning and hard work with Pasi Laurén, Olympian and veteran World Champion.

A huge thank you to Pasi for sharing his knowledge, experience and passion for judo with us. It was a great opportunity for our judokas to learn, challenge themselves and gain new inspiration from such an experienced athlete and coach.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day special!
