Our judo team (Judo Joeys) recently had the incredible opportunity to practice alongside the cadets' team, fostering a dynamic environment of learning and collaboration.

Experienced members of our National level competition squad shared invaluable time with our younger members.

The friendship built during these sessions strengthened our team spirit and reinforced our commitment to excellence in judo, paving the way for future successes together.

Thank you to Judo NSW for your collaboration and support.

The dedication, patience, and expertise of our judo instructors contribute to our competition success.

We extend our gratitude to our parents and supporters, as without their support none of this would have been possible.
