Help Ivan & Daniel Represent Team USA at the Judo World Cham

Help Ivan Baranau & Daniel Shulgin Represent the USA at the Judo World Championships!

We are thrilled to share some incredible news: Ivan Baranau and Daniel Shulgin have both won first place at the USA National Judo Championships and have now been selected to represent Team USA at the 2025 Judo World Championships in Europe!

• Ivan will compete in the 2025 Cadets Judo World Championship

• Daniel will compete in the 2025 IJF Juniors Judo World Championship

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these dedicated young athletes, and a proud moment for their families, their club YAWARA FORCE and the entire American judo community.

For the past year, all expenses for training, travel, competitions, and coaching have been fully covered by the parents. We’ve been committed to supporting our boys every step of the way — and we’ve managed to do it. But now, as we head into the most important competition of their lives, we’re asking for help.

Why We Need Your Support

Representing the United States on the world stage comes with significant financial challenges. We are raising funds to help cover:

• ✈️ International flights

• Accommodation

• ️ Meals

• Competition fees

• ️‍♂️ Training camps and preparation expenses

• ‍ Travel and coaching fees (the coach will accompany them throughout the journey)

These costs quickly add up, and we want to ensure that Ivan and Daniel can focus 100% on training and competing — not worrying about logistics or finances.

How You Can Help

Any contribution — big or small — will make a real difference. Your support will not only help these young champions reach the global stage, but it will also show them that hard work, discipline, and dedication truly pay off.

Let’s come together as a community and help Ivan and Daniel make their country proud on the world judo stage!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!
