Meet this inspirational local judoka and stunt woman

Judo instructor and stunt expert

Kathy Hubble, 57, started her training in judo at the age of six and competed with Team Canada at the age 15.

She then took a long break from the sport to pursue an extraordinary career, but got right back into it 12 years ago.

She is now a fifth-degree black belt and teaches others the art of judo and self-defense at the Lake Country Judo Club.

Along with her experience on the mat, she is also in the stunt world, performing high stakes moves for film and television.

With lots of credits as a stuntwoman, she now works as a stunt instructor for local productions in the Okanagan.
