From February 22nd to 25th, 2025, Team Nogueira Dubai proudly hosted an exclusive Judo Masterclass led by Sensei Shinji Hosokawa, 8th Dan black belt and Olympic Champion (Los Angeles 1984). A highly respected professor at Tenri University in Japan, Sensei Hosokawa brought decades of elite-level expertise, discipline, and passion to our mats in a truly inspiring event. The masterclass was further enriched by the presence of Jay Shimizu from the USA National Judo Team and Luc Ntsama, Head Judo Coach at Team Nogueira. Together, they delivered a series of immersive sessions focused on grip control, dynamic throws, and high-level transitions, welcoming Judokas of all levels to elevate their technique under world-class guidance.

This event exemplifies Team Nogueira Dubai’s dedication to bringing global martial arts excellence to our community. We are deeply honored to have hosted Sensei Hosokawa and his team, and we thank all participants for making this experience unforgettable.
