The University of Tasmania Judo Club (established in April 1954) is a Tasmania University Union (TUU) Club, training in the Dojo at the Uni Gym on the Sandy Bay Campu
s. The university judo dojo, is, in effect, the oldest martial arts club in Tasmania, and is the oldest, continually-surviving University judo club in Australia. (Queensland Uni. pre-dates Tasmania by a year or so, but has not survived continuously since)
Currently, club coaching is under the tuition of instructors Peter Creef and Les Vincent. We welcome Judoka and new starters, seniors and juniors, and membership is open to the public as well as TUU members. ABOUT JUDO
Judo is a Japanese martial art where the object is to either throw an opponent to the ground (nage-waza), immobilise an opponent with a hold (osaekomi-waza), joint lock (kansetsu-waza) or strangle (shime-waza). Judo develops strength, cardiovascular fitness, strategy and reaction time. Judo techniques are practised individually to allow students to learn important points of each technique. Techniques are also practised in Randori - free-style sparring against an opponent. Randori is one of the main forms of training. COME ALONG AND TRY IT OUT
Wear an old long sleeve top and trackpants. Maybe bring a water bottle as well. The first three lessons are free and it's probably a good idea to come along once a week to start with.
