Congratulations to three of our Judoka who have earned their spots on the Judo NSW State team!

Levi, Josh and Luke have one more weekend of State training to complete before going to the Gold Coast on the 9-12th June to compete in the 2023 Australian National Judo Championships 🥋

A lot of hard work and dedication goes into competing in the lead up comps to even qualify for State training, then six weeks of gruelling training in Sydney, to then be selected to represent NSW in their divisions against the best in the Country! 🇦🇺

Well done and best of luck!
(Lakai has also qualified 👏 but has chosen to wait till next year to gain more experience before doing Nationals - well done Lakai).

Sensei Matt.
