🟧 Club Year-End Competition & Prize-Giving

Our most anticipated day on the club calendar brought our club family together for a celebration of hard work, progress and achievement.

Congratulations to all our medallists and special award recipients! It was wonderful to see families cheering on their children and parents. There were beautiful throws, impressive transitions, a few tears and plenty of grins—moments that made the day special.

Thank you to all our members and their families for your support throughout the year. As we wind down towards the end of the year, we can look back with pride at how much everyone has grown, both on and off the mat.

Well done to everyone who took part. You’ve given us so much to celebrate!

What a day for Kano Judo Schools!
A massive congratulations to Calvin Knoester and Joe McCole for representing Australia at the 2026 World Judo Championships Veterans in Sarajevo.
Both boys put together some really strong performances in tough categories.
Calvin – 5th place, M1 −81kg
After losing his quarterfinal to the eventual silver medallist (GEO), Calvin fought his way through the repechage with two wins against FRA and UZB, to make the bronze medal match. Unfortunately, he just missed out on the podium, losing in golden score and finishing 5th.
Joe – 7th place, M1 −73kg
Joe started with a convincing win in just 48s, in his first fight against ITA. After moving into the repechage after the quarterfinals, Joe finished 7th overall, having faced both the eventual Gold (BRA) and Bronze (GEO) medallists along the way.
Two huge efforts on the world stage and something we’re very proud of at our club.
Well done boys — representing Kano, WA and Australia pride. 🇦🇺👏🥋

The Perth International Open is the premier judo event in WA and once again attracted a strong international contingent, making it a fantastic opportunity for our athletes to test themselves against quality opposition.

Neil Adams Seminar at Kano Judo Schools

Kano Judo Schools was honoured to host a very special seminar on Wednesday evening with one of judo’s true legends, Neil Adams MBE.

Known around the world as the voice of judo, Neil is a 9th Dan, World Champion, Olympic medallist, and five-time European Champion. Joining him on the mat was his wife, Niki Adams, a 6th Dan and Canadian Olympian.

The session included both standing and ground techniques, delivered in Neil’s trademark fun, engaging, and highly practical style. Judoka of all ages and experience levels were able to take something valuable from the evening.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible, and to all who attended and supported the seminar.

We hope to welcome Neil and Niki back to Western Australia again soon.
