Judo Bendigo Inc

It’s all starts with learning to fall, roll and move safely.

From there, kids learn how to throw or take down a partner
using techniques that suit their age and size.
It’s about balance, timing, and control.

They also do groundwork learning what to do once they’re on the ground. They learn how to hold, stay calm, and work their way out.

Every session includes wrestling and randori (practice sparring), so they get a chance to actually use what they’ve learned.

There’s a lot of trying and trying again.

Give it a few weeks and you see the improvement come to life.

They’re not as hesitant.
They have a go without overthinking it.
And they bounce back a bit quicker when something doesn’t work.

And along the way, they start to build real confidence, control, and self-belief.

Want something that builds your child’s confidence and keeps them active?

We’ve got a few spots open in our Thursday 5pm junior judo class.

Judo is a great mix of movement, learning, and fun.

Kids are constantly active; rolling, balancing, and learning how to move their bodies, while building real confidence each week.

They also start to develop basic self-defence skills in a safe, controlled environment.

Our classes focus on:
• Building confidence over time
• Lots of movement and physical activity
• Learning new skills each week
• A fun, supportive environment

It’s a great fit for kids who want to move, try something new, and grow in confidence.

No experience needed.

Pilates at the Dojo 🧘‍♀️

If you’ve been thinking about starting Pilates, this is your sign.

Pilates isn’t just about stretching — it’s about building real strength, improving mobility, and helping your body move the way it’s meant to. Whether you’re stiff from sitting, sore from training, or just want to feel better day-to-day… this is for you.

What makes these classes different?

We’re not a packed-out studio where you feel lost in the crowd.

At Judo Bendigo, our Pilates classes are:
✔ Small and personal
✔ Supportive and welcoming
✔ Built on trust — no egos, no pressure

You’ll get real guidance, proper attention to your movement, and a space where you can go at your own pace while still being challenged.

Perfect for beginners, athletes or people getting back into exercise… anyone who wants to move and feel better.

What a weekend for the team at .academy Grand Prix.

We had some awesome results across the board, with every one of our athletes bringing home a medal from a mixture different division’s and rule sets.

A big thank you to the Senshi team for yet another fantastic comp, and for championing No-Gi Judo. Our team absolutely loved the format, and it was great to see the progress we’ve made in No-Gi grappling space in just six months since introducing these classes.

Special mention to our juniors - for many, this was their first competition. The spirit, courage, and effort they showed was outstanding, and we couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them.

Onward and upward. 👊
