In this episode, we are privileged to have Duncan Vignale share some of his story.

Judo has been a major part of Duncan Vignale’s life since the 1950s.

He recieved his Shodan (first degree black belt) in 1961 and his Shichidan (7th degree black belt) in the year 2000. As a competitive judoka, competing for over 20 years, he won the Ontario and Eastern Canadian Championships and placed 3 times in the Canadian Championships. In 1964, he had the honour of being selected as an alternate to Mr. Doug Rogers, who won the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics (Canada sent only one judoka to these games).

Duncan’s involvement with Judo Ontario included being a member of council, vice president and president and I was also vice president of Judo Canada. Additionally, he served as chairman of Judo Ontario’s Grading Board and was also a member of Judo Canada’s National Grading Board. I earned my national “A” referee status in 1983 and was on the coaching staff of Judo Ontario and held the position as Head Coach for 4 years.

Duncan is dedicated to passing on what he has learned to others. Enjoy!!
