Big congratulations to two of our Kokoro Judo athletes who competed at the 2026 NSW State Titles today!

Alex claimed the gold and is the new U15 Boys / U45kg NSW Champion and displayed some quality judo today.

Penny also fought brilliantly in the tough Cadet Women division and brought home a Silver medal in her very first major tournament – such a proud moment!

Both Alex and Penny embodied the Judo moral code through their consistent work ethic at practice, positive attitude, respect for opponents, and courage on the mat. We’re incredibly proud of how they represent our club both in competition and in training every day.

Oss to Alex and Penny– your dedication inspires us all! 💪🥋🥇🥈
