BIG day out for some of our CJC fams - the shelf is filling up with all this hardware 😏🏆

🥇 Odysseas Kolovisteas, Gold National Beach SAMBO Champion. He did the business - sand, sweat, no questions asked.

🥇 Alyssa Formosa, deciding gold was the only acceptable outcome and walked away National Beach SAMBO Champion. Just executing the plan.

🥈 Regina Pittard, repped hard at the Oceania Judo Championships and brought home silver — absolute grit.

💥 Sebastian TEMESI, casually ended his bout with a KO at the Bareknuckle Fighting Championship. Lights out. Goodnight. See you later.

Different arenas, same energy — showing up, putting in the work and making statements.
Proud is an understatement.

🥋👏 Congratulations Claudine! 👏🥋

NQ Judo would like to congratulate Claudine on representing Cairns Judo Club and Australia on the refereeing stage at the Oceania Championships this weekend!

With an incredible 56 years involved in judo, Claudine has dedicated her time to coaching and refereeing at local North Queensland competitions, helping shape and support our judo community for generations.

This weekend, Claudine will take her place on the international stage, officiating in the Kata division — a fantastic achievement and recognition of her experience and commitment to the sport.

👏 Congratulations Claudine, and thank you for representing NQ Judo with pride. Enjoy every moment of the experience!

Three entries. Three gold medals. 🥇🥇🥇

To cap it off, Isabel dos Santos dominates the -48kg division to secure the trifecta for CJC.

A flawless campaign—every athlete stepping up, every performance delivering.

Proud is an understatement. Congratulations, Isabel, and the entire team. 🔥

Double gold at the Melbourne International Judo Open 🥇🥇

Junior Women -63kg
Senior Women -63kg

All contests won by ippon.

A composed, controlled performance across both divisions — and an important one.

With the Oceania Championships next weekend, this was exactly the hit-out we needed. Good rhythm, sharp timing, and a chance to feel out parts of the field we’ll see again soon.

The level lifts from here.

But this is the form you want to be carrying in.

Massive thanks to Ivo and Isa for looking after her, Cath for housing her and Will for making sure she’s everywhere she needs to be.
