I would like to report to my fellow Judo colleagues about the activities of our zone. The East Asia Games 2014 was successfully held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia respectively.

Result achievement of 2014 Incheon Asian Games within EAJF

During the period since my last report member federations of East Asian Judo Federation have had a great result in many International events especially at the 2014 Asian Games that was held in Incheon, South Korea last year. Our East Asian region captured 13 gold medals and 10 silver medals, 21 bronze medal in individual category proudly, not to mention team event which was the tremendous achievement.

President’s Role

The East Asian Judo Federation EC members including myself and my General Secretary Mr. BukhbatMashbat has been closely working together focusing on especially East Asian Judo Championships. Recent judo events are only focused on IJF events since the Olympic qualification system changed. There are not so many events that focus on harmony and friendship between member federations anymore. However, Judo is more than just a Sports. Judo is more likely about values. In order to promote this such a great values, I insist to have more event games in our region.
