Without a doubt, Judo is the most challenging of all the martial arts, it is a cross between Gymnastics, Wrestling and Ballet.

Question: Have you ever tried lifting someone up against their will, turning them around midair and landing them on their back?

We practice doing just that in a safe and controlled manner. We learn how to throw and more importantly how to repeatedly take a fall; if we hurt each other, we would not have anyone to practice with!

Judo is the most popular

martial art in the world with more

competitors in the Olympics than any other sport.

If you would like to try Judo; please contact Cliff on

0437 5 98 801 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We have clubs in Toormina,

Woolgoolga and Coffs Harbour with vacancies for beginners.

Be prepared for a challenge! 

Judo will be on this Monday 11th June @Kuzushi J.C, we are sure the queen won't mind if you miss her party.

All the kids that participated will receive 2 stars for the Club Rewards Board. Remember this year the winner from each club will win a new judogi!!

Excellent work by Logan from Kuzushi J.C countering Finn's O Soto Gari.
