It was derived from a range of martial arts predominant in Japan at that time, the most influential of which was Jiujitsu. Judo is a sport which teaches discipline, physical and mental control and does NOT include punching and kicking. Our main aim for children is to have a fun experience while giving them a structured advancement based on reachable physical and mental goals. The overall experience endowers the children with better co-ordination and respect for other people. Training is held at Charles Conder Primary School,
134 Tom Roberts Ave, Conder 2906

Mondays - 6.00pm to 7.30pm
Thursdays - 6.00pm to 7.30pm
