At Bronx People, Bacau, judo isn’t just a sport—it’s a transformative tool shaping the futures of vulnerable children under the compassionate leadership of Daniel Zodian.
Since 2018, International Judo Federation (IJF) is collaborating with Daniel and his wife Ana to develop their project, welcoming over 20 youngsters into their home, and converting it into a sanctuary where judo plays a pivotal role in their development.
Through rigorous training on the tatami, children not only build physical strength and agility but also cultivate essential life skills. Judo instills values of respect, perseverance, and teamwork, fostering emotional resilience and social integration among the children.
Under Daniel’s mentorship judo becomes more than sport—it’s a pathway to personal growth and empowerment. Beyond the mat, children learn invaluable life skills that prepare them for future challenges, ensuring they thrive in every aspect of life.

The atmosphere at Bronx People, Bacau is one of warmth and positivity. The children see Daniel not only as a strict mentor but also as a caring father figure who listens and guides. This nurturing environment is pivotal in helping them overcome past traumas and look forward to a brighter future.
