Rendoki Dojo Judo: Rising Stars Shine in Regional and National Competitions

Livorno’s Rendoki Dojo Judo club continues to make waves in Italian judo circles, with athletes under the guidance of Alessio Vecchio securing impressive results across multiple tournaments in early 2026. The club, which has competed at the national level for just two years, has established itself as a formidable presence in youth and junior categories.

Strong Showing at Trofeo di Piombino

On March 15, 2026, Rendoki Dojo athletes delivered a standout performance at the Trofeo di Piombino, capturing a total of 13 medals: two gold, four silver, and seven bronze. The results spanned multiple age groups including bambini, fanciulli, Cadetti, and Juniores divisions, demonstrating the club’s depth across age categories.

Continued Success at 2° Trofeo Città di Pavia

Just one week later, on March 22, 2026, the Rendoki Dojo team competed at the 2° Trofeo Città di Pavia, where they added to their medal tally. Diego Catania claimed gold in the Cadetti category, even as Pietro Onida secured silver in the same division. The event was marked by adversity for Andrea Vecchio, who was forced to withdraw during his match due to a suspected left ninth rib fracture, later confirmed by hospital examinations. The injury necessitated a period of rest and recovery for the young athlete.

Spring Tournament Triumph in Sant’Angelo a Lecore

The club’s momentum continued into April, with Rendoki Dojo participating in the Torneo di Primavera held on April 19, 2026, in Sant’Angelo a Lecore, located in the province of Florence. At this event, the judoka earned two gold medals, five silver medals, and three bronze medals. Their collective performance was strong enough to secure second place in the team classification for the tournament.

Building on Early Success

These recent achievements build upon Rendoki Dojo’s earlier accomplishments in judo competition. In October 2025, the club placed third overall in the club rankings at the XXXIX edition of the “Piccolo Samurai” Tournament held in Campi Bisenzio. That performance highlighted the emerging talent within the Livorno-based program and its potential for future success on larger stages.

Looking Ahead

According to tournament schedules referenced in regional sports coverage, Rendoki Dojo’s Cadetti and Juniores athletes have upcoming competitions planned in Pescara and Matassino, with the latter location also situated in the province of Florence. These events represent the next opportunities for the club to build on its current momentum.

The Rendoki Dojo Judo program, operating from its base in Livorno, has demonstrated rapid development since initiating competitive activities just two years ago. Under Alessio Vecchio’s leadership, the club has cultivated athletes capable of medaling in regional and national tournaments across multiple age groups, establishing a foundation for continued growth in the sport.

What stands out most about Rendoki Dojo’s recent run is not just the medal count, but the consistency across different venues and competitions. From the coastal city of Piombino to the inland settings of Pavia and Florence, the judoka have adapted successfully to various competitive environments while maintaining a high level of performance.

As the 2026 competitive season progresses, Rendoki Dojo appears positioned to continue its upward trajectory in Italian youth judo. The combination of technical skill, competitive experience, and team depth showcased in recent months suggests the Livorno club will remain a team to watch in upcoming national-level events.
