Judo Avisio: Smiles, Mindfulness, and Respect in Action
Judo Avisio, a beloved sports association in Predazzo, had its annual meeting on . With over a third of members in attendance (and some joining online), the sports councilor Alberto Dellantonio expressed the municipality’s gratitude and support for the association’s work within the community.
Laughing, Meditating, and Learning Together
Association president and Judo instructor Vittorio Nocentini presented the activities carried out from September 2024 to August 2025, highlighting three key initiatives:
- Laughter Yoga: Celebrating 15 years, this activity promotes the importance of smiling and laughter. Classes now meet monthly, led by Matteo Gross.
- Meditation: Weekly meetings, with monthly online sessions on specific topics, are facilitated by Claudia Welinitz of the Kushi Ling center in Arco.
- Judo Education: With three to four weekly meetings, Judo education focuses on teaching mutual respect, with competition as a supporting, rather than primary, aspect.
Participating and Impacting the Community
Judo Avisio participated in various local and regional events, including tournaments in Bagno a Ripoli (FI) and meetings in Riva del Garda and Trento. The association also organized monthly meetings through the AISE (Italian Sports Education Association).
Highlighted were summer internships for people with disabilities and children, and activities at local senior facilities like the Predazzo RSA and Maso Toffa of the Oltre coop.
Financial Stability and Gratitude
Members approved the final balance sheet, which, despite a deficit, maintained a solid cash fund. The budget estimate was also approved.
In closing, Nocentini thanked practitioners, parents, friends, and various entities connected with Judo Avisio for their continued support.
