🥋 Women’s Judo is growing! 💪

Our female-only Judo class is going from strength to strength, with an amazing group of women who bring energy, encouragement and plenty of laughs to every session.

Whether you’re completely new to Judo or looking to get back on the mat, this is a place to learn, challenge yourself, build confidence and have fun — without judgement and with plenty of support.

It’s more than just Judo. It’s a great bunch of women, a supportive community, and a whole lot of fun.

Curious? Come and give it a go!
Send us a message, bring a friend, and join this growing group of women on the mat. Your first step starts here. 🥋💪

🥋 Help Save Metro Judo Hamilton

For more than 30 years, Metro Judo Hamilton has been a home for our community—helping children, young people and adults develop discipline, confidence, resilience, respect and the skills to become better, more capable members of society. Judo is far more than a sport; strong, accessible clubs provide safe spaces where people connect, learn, grow and support one another. Like many not-for-profit organisations, we face the very real risk of losing access to a suitable, permanent facility—and without a secure home, the future of our club and the community it serves is uncertain. Please sign this petition to show your support for Metro Judo Hamilton and help us fight to keep our dojo open—your voice can make a difference. 🥋❤️

Support Metro Judo Hamilton and save our dojo

Our Tauranga Judo Club whānau is coming together to support one of our own, our much-loved coach, Kevin Kavanagh 🥋🤍

Kevin has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is now facing the road ahead with treatment. It’s a difficult time for Kevin and his family, and we want them to know they don’t have to walk it alone.

He has given so much of his time, knowledge, encouragement and support to our club, both on and off the mat. Now, it’s our turn to be there for him.

If you’re able to contribute, any donation, big or small, it would mean so much to Kevin and his family.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is also a huge help and a wonderful way to show your support:

Our thoughts and support are with Kevin and his whānau as they navigate the road ahead.
