LEARNING AND SHARING is a key objective of the Australian Adaptive Judo Games taking place in Tweed Heads today.
A Judo Australia event developed under the PlayWell strategy, the Games attracted adaptive judoka and coaches from all around Australia, and four very special guests:
Kerry and Paul Tansey from British Judo, and Marina Draskovic and Sanja Delladio from CroJudo in Croatia.
All four guests were on the mat to coach and inspire, while Kerry Tansey and Marina Drascovic delivered presentations for coaches and athletes working with adaptive judoka, and dedicated to building Adaptive Judo.
Our thanks for your time and passion, Kerry and Paul, Marina and Sanja. Also a vote of thanks to chief organiser Melissa Avgoulas.
As the chair of Judo Australia's Adaptive Judo Committee, this was her dream and getting on the mat today must have been a very special moment. Amazing work Melissa.
Feeding the masses was a volunteer crew from local club, Maishin Judo - great work team - next stop, Bunnings!
Also going above and beyond, Judo Australia's National Participation Manager, Shane Alvisio, chief mat wrangler and troubleshooter at events around the country. Enjoy your sausage, Shane - you deserve it!

JUDO has something to offer you.
It's easy to think of judo as something you watch — but it's really a set of skills: safe falling, resilience, confidence under pressure, all built session by session, club by club.
Judo Australia is calling for Foundation Partners who see value beyond the badge — organisations who want to explore what that expertise could mean for their people or community.
