In an interview with IRNA on the sidelines of the Iranian Judo Grand Prix, which is being held in Ahvaz, Sedigheh Kabizadeh told IRNA on Monday that we have used all our capacities to lift the suspension of judo. The sport was held and our legal team defended very well, which I hope will benefit the country’s judo community.
Construction of 12 judo houses in the country
He added: “The Judo Federation has never been passive in these two and a half years of suspension and has implemented many programs. We also used the capacities of the provinces to develop the infrastructure of this field, so that 12 judo houses in different provinces were overhauled.” Some of them are under construction and some were inaugurated.
The secretary of the Judo Federation continued: equipping judo houses, holding big events, including the Ahvaz Grand Prix competition, have been other programs of this federation.
He said: “We are consulting to implement a national plan for the field of judo entitled” Training of heroic trainers “in the men’s and women’s sections.

He referred to the federation’s efforts in discussing talent, heroism and public development of the field and continued: “We activated beach judo as the first country and Mr. Mirasmaili presented its plan at an Asian conference and was welcomed.”
Holding the first Bahman Beach Judo Competition this year in Bushehr

Help Khuzestan Judo to gain its previous position
Kabizadeh said: “One of the reasons we insisted that these fights be held in Ahvaz is the very good history of Khuzestan in the field of judo.” Khuzestan has introduced many champions to the country in consecutive years and we want to help this Olympic discipline in Khuzestan return to its previous position.
