📣 BIG NEWS: WE’RE MOVING!

Townsville Judo Club is relocating to a new home!

Over the past couple of years our volunteer-run, not-for-profit club has grown to be Queensland's largest judo club and we’ve officially outgrown our current space.

We intend to be running classes from the new dojo very soon, with just a few things left to finish first. We’re also getting ready to host our first competition there on Saturday 12 September (registration link in comments!).

Keep an eye on our stories for renovation and set-up sneak peeks as it all comes together.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home... visit our website to learn more or book a free trial today - www.townsvillejudo.com.au

📍 Coming soon to 11/35 Edison Street, Wulguru (previously the mini mart in Edison Plaza across from Wulguru State School)."
