Great photo at the end of last Sunday’s VAJU Tournament.

You can see our five Yuki Judo competitors and a friend from Tori Judo along with Sensei Clau, who also competed after 3 years 😊

All students demonstrated a great courage and attitude, attacking and resisting their opponent’s attacks with great determination.

Congratulations to all of them!

Yuki Judo was at Statewide Vision Resource Centre

A couple of weeks ago, Yuki Judo delivered an online presentation for kids and staff at the Statewide Vision Resource Centre (SVRC).

  • Image of the online session with the room at SVRC and Claudio

SVRC is an institution depending from the Victorian Department of Education and Training, that supports over 500 blind and vision impaired students and provides specialised training and support for educators.

We talked about the history Judo, how we fight and what a typical class looks like. We also talked about the particularities of Judo for blind and vision impaired people, including the experience with our blind Judoka in the adults class, who’s been training twice per week for a year now.

It was a great session where the kids also had the opportunity to ask questions and touch and feel Judo belts and gis (uniforms).

A big thank you to SVRC and Blind Sports Victoria for the invitation!

Yuki Judo Participated in a 3-day Summer Judo Seminar

This past weekend, our Sensei has participated in an 3-day Summer Judo Seminar, held at Zenyo Judo in Abbotsford, from Friday to Sunday.

It was a great and intense seminar and the perfect opportunity to improve our Judo, especially after the last 2 year’s lockdowns and interruptions.

We trained tachi waza (standing techniques) and randori (practice fights) in the mornings, and ne waza (techniques on the ground) and kata (formal pre-established set of techniques) in the afternoons.

Thank you, Zenyo Judo, for organising it!

It was a great start of the year and an awesome preparation for Yuki Judo’s kick start on Monday 31st January.

See you on the mat!

Happy New Year!

Yuki Judo wishes you a great 2022, full of success and Judo!

Our classes for Adults and Kids (8-14 YO) start on Monday 31 JAN

Little kids class on Saturdays will start on 19 FEB

See you on the mat!
