About Dan

The Story of Hanabi
花火 — Fireworks Since 1965

Hanabi Judo was established in Albany by Emilio “Mel” Augustine in 1965, making it one of the original judo clubs in the Bay Area. The club’s name — 花火 (Hanabi) — means “fireworks” in Japanese, and its energy, brightness and excitement truly express the spirit of the community.

For over six decades we have been part of the Bay Area, developing not just champions but good people of strength and honor. Today, Head Instructor Dan Augustine (6th Degree Black Belt) carries forward the legacy his father Mel began — the tradition of excellence, warmth and family has never wavered.

About the lesson

What is Judo?
The Gentle Way

Judo — literally “gentle way” in Japanese — was created by Professor Jigoro Kano in 1882. It is a dynamic combat sport that demands both physical prowess and mental strategy: throw or take down an opponent, then immobilize or subdue them with a pin.

From its creation in Japan, judo spread worldwide and became an Olympic sport in 1964. Today it is practiced in more than 200 countries, making it one of the most widely practiced martial arts in the world.

More than the physical techniques, Kano developed judo as a complete educational system — training mind and spirit alongside the body. That philosophy is what we teach on the mat in Albany.
