🥋 Training doesn’t finish when class ends.
Our dojo is our shared space, and keeping the mats clean is part of our respect for judo, our teammates, and everyone who trains here.
After every gi training session, we take time to clean the mats properly so that everyone can train in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment.
A big thank you to everyone who already helps without being asked. Your small effort makes a big difference. 🙏
We would love to encourage more members to join in and help after training, even just for a few minutes.
Together, we can keep our dojo clean, safe, and strong.
Thank you for being part of our judo family. 🥋✨

2026 Australian National Judo Championships 🥋🇦🇺

What an amazing and memorable Nationals.

After three big days of competition, I would like to sincerely congratulate every athlete who represented South Australia with pride, courage, and determination.

This year, our athletes proudly achieved at Central Hub.

🥇 5 Gold Medals
🥈 4 Silver Medals
🥉 5 Bronze Medals

A huge congratulations to all medal winners, and also to every athlete who stepped onto the mat, gave their best, and represented our State Team with heart. Winning a medal is special, but the courage to compete, learn, and keep improving is just as important.

As the South Australia State Team Coach and a coach from Adelaide University Judo Club, I am truly grateful to all the athletes who trusted the coaching process and committed themselves to the South Australia State Team Training at Central Hub.

Central Hub has been our official State Team training place, where athletes from different clubs came together, trained hard, supported each other, and built strong team spirit. I believe the results from this Nationals clearly showed the value of the hard work, discipline, and extra training that took place at Central Hub.

I would especially like to thank the athletes from other clubs who continuously came to Central Hub for State Team training, and also joined extra training at Adelaide University Judo Club. Your commitment, discipline, and belief in the process helped create these great results.

As many of you know, English is my second language. As an immigrant, I know my English is not always perfect, and sometimes it may not be easy to understand me clearly. But I am deeply thankful to every athlete who listened carefully, trusted my coaching, followed the instructions, and gave their best on the mat. That means a lot to me.

To the athletes who did not win a medal this time, please do not be disappointed. This experience will make you stronger. Let’s keep training harder, learning more, and come back next year with even better results. I will also continue to do my very best to support you.

Thank you again to all South Australia State Team athletes, coaches, clubs, families, and supporters.

I am very proud of every one of you.

Congratulations on an outstanding 2026 Australian National Judo Championships! 🎉🥋

Our younger participants also gave their very best performances, and we are incredibly proud of the whole team.

It has been wonderful to see their hard work, discipline, and trust in the training process turn into such meaningful results.
