Outstanding Judoka of the Year
Zachary Ordinario
Zachary started judo in 2022 as a quiet 10-year-old. He has grown into one of the club's leaders, works hard every practice, and remains humble in his accomplishments.
Outside of judo, Zachary enjoys guitar, piano, basketball, table tennis, billiards, swimming, baseball, and collecting Pokémon cards. He is a straight-A student who has consistently received awards and recognition, and he participates in his school's robotics and MESA (Math Engineering Science Achievement) club. He was accepted to CAMS for high school.
Zachary's character on and off the mat is why South Bay Judo selected him as one of its 2025 Outstanding Judokas of the Year.
