Congratulations to everyone who competed at the 2026 Kano Open Competition! The team stepped up again, and it was great to see everyone continuing to develop their judo and, most importantly, grow together as a team.

A special mention to Simon, who started judo in his 50s and can now tick off competing in a judo tournament, and also to Heydon, who bounced back after his first competition to have two epic matches today against formidable opponents.

Great results from the weekend.

Huge congratulations to Hugh McCormack on taking bronze in the Under 90kg Senior division at the Mandurah Oceania Open 2026 — awesome effort!
