Last week were lucky enough to have Daein and Francesca D' Orazio come passed the dojo while they were in town for work. They both generously taught some of their favourite techniques and we all learnt a lot. They also joined us for sparring and threw us around. It was awesome!

Tonight we had the privilege of having Commonwealth Games bronze medalist Paula M***a come in and inspire the next generation of judoka.

Paula taught some techniques, played sumo and fielded a wide variety of questions from the kids and teens.

It was awesome to see Paula spend some time with the young judoka.

Thanks mate! We are super excited to watch your judoka career over the coming years.
