The kids were very excited about Judo practice. Bianca provided a lot of fun activities. We hope she will come and visit us again.

Bianca is an inspiration and excellent role model for our Judo students. She is very personable, humble, and down to earth. She
relates well to children & they love her. My grandsons really enjoyed meeting her & participating in her clinics in early May. They were
really dissapointed that they couldn't get to Whitehorse for the past clinic. Unfortunately I had to work at the Carcross Pool and their
mom had to work in Atlin. The boys have pictures and memories of the May clinic that they treasure and hope to see Bianca again some day.
