WAVERLEY JUDO

Today was a big step forward for Waverley. Ten of our kids competed in the Taketani Inter-Club competition — seven of them competing for the very first time. The results were fantastic, but even more impressive was the resilience and composure they all showed. They were humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

The Judo Moral Code has been central to our teaching this year, and it was wonderful to see every child embody those values while representing the club. We couldn’t be prouder of their effort — no matter the colour of the medal.

Waverley Judo are hosting an event for beginners aged 5-14 yo.

On Friday, the 25th of September (AFL Grand Final Public Holiday), weigh-in is from 10:15 am.

Modified, kid-friendly rules apply, focusing on fun and building confidence.

Judo is a powerful, practical martial art designed to build real‑world confidence, functional strength, and calm under pressure — all in a safe, welcoming environment.

At Waverley Judo, our coaches create a space where women can learn at their own pace, feel supported, and discover what their bodies are capable of. You’ll learn self‑defence skills, how to fall safely, and how to move with purpose — while having fun and connecting with other women.

Congrat's to our new Waverley Judo Dan grades.

Tani - Ni Dan
Steve - Sho Dan
Alex - Sho Dan

Stella performance today lads. You did yourselves and the club proud!

A big congratulations to our legends who graded today at the JVI Dan Gradings. Our guys were awesome! They worked really hard in preparation, and their performances today were absolutely fantastic. They truly earned their new black belts.

Tani achieved his NiDan.
Steve earned his long overdue and well-deserved ShoDan.
Alex proudly earned his ShoDan.

Special thanks to young Aiden, who stepped in as Alex’s crash test dummy. Although he wasn’t grading, he selflessly endured being thrown hundreds of times this week to help the others prepare!
