A huge thank you to Dylan, Travis and Ash, who put in a massive effort rebuilding the dojo floor with Tim and me over the holiday break. It was a true team effort, built on hard work and plenty of laughs.

The result is a significantly safer training surface that we are genuinely excited to use. Bunnings must now think judo players have an aversion to water, having seen four stores between Pakenham and Traralgon emptied of 250 blue pool noodles.🤣🥋💦

This is a big step forward for Ju Yū Kai Drouin and for our friends at 818 BJJ.

We are looking forward to returning to regular training on Wednesday 7 January.

Happy New Year to everyone. We can't wait to see you back on the mat. 🥋😊

Congratulations, Tim Waterman on passing your shodan examination, today!
All the hard work, study, and dedication you’ve put into your preparation really showed. Achieving your shodan is a huge milestone, and it was well-earned. Your kata with Angus was polished, focused, and delivered with real intention... Overall, an impressive presentation.
Well done. You can be very proud. Osu! 🥋👏🏼👏🏼

What a phenomenal weekend of judo!🏆🥋🥋🥋🥋🏆
On Saturday, our early risers showed great enthusiasm at the last Dinosaurs session for the year🦖🦕. Joe Chamma Photography
Sunday's JV State Champs saw 268 entries and 387 matches, with Dylan and Angus delivering courageous performances for our club. Dylan demonstrated remarkable resilience in senior men U75kg, making the eventual gold medalist work hard for his prize. Dylan's progress is a testament to his dedication. Angus, returning after a 15-year break, showed his grit in SM U75kg. He then went on to secure a well-deserved silver medal in the veterans division. We couldn't be prouder of these two athletes!👏👏🥋💪
Welcome to our newest club member and longtime friend, Alannah Joyce from NT! Alannah was dominant in both Junior and Senior Women Over 78kg. Well done Alannah!🥇💛
