Wellington Trip Update

What a weekend!

After our flights were cancelled, we had to quickly change plans, hire a van, and make the drive down to Wellington. Despite the unexpected start, we arrived on time, and the team rose to the occasion.

Our athletes represented Big Judo brilliantly, with some fantastic results:
🥇 Dylan – Gold
🥇 Deirdre – Gold
🥉 Matt – Bronze

Beyond the medals, everyone showed great determination, resilience, and sportsmanship. The team did the club proud, and it was a successful trip all round. On to the next one!

This past Tuesday, at our final session of the school term, our Big Judo kids took part in their very first grading! 🥋

It was a fantastic turnout, and we couldn’t be prouder of how everyone performed. The kids showed great effort, confidence, and some really solid technique across the board.

We also took the time to recognise those who consistently demonstrate the Big Judo values, with a few well-deserved trophies handed out on the night.

A huge congratulations to everyone who graded — an awesome achievement and a big step forward in your judo journey. Well done, team! 💪
