Yamato Judo Club

Tai-otoshi 🥋

Breaking it down step by step.

Position, movement, timing and where to place the body — the small details that make a big difference.

The kids were completely focused on this one, then straight onto the mat to practise it for themselves.

Learning judo properly takes time, repetition and lots of practice. That’s part of the journey.

Randori time 🥋

Learning to move, react, attack, defend… and keep going when it doesn’t quite work the first time.

This is where judo starts to make sense. 💪

Really enjoyed our session at Kai Fitness. We spent some time showing their kids the ropes, teaching them how to fall safely and handle those first few basics of Judo. It’s not about perfection, just about getting them moving and having fun with it.
Thanks to the Kai team for the invite and for filming the session. Great to work with another local spot that’s just as focused on getting kids engaged as we are.
Feel free to reach out to either of us if you’re keen to find out more.

Age is just a number on the mats! ✨

At just 4 years old, he’s already learning focus, coordination, and—clearly—how to take down a black belt coach twice his size! 😉

Our junior programs are all about building confidence, balance, and having fun in a safe, structured environment. Who says you have to wait until you’re older to start your martial arts journey?

Cove

Yamato Judo had an awesome session coaching the kids in Lane Cove West in collaboration with Kai Fitness! It was fantastic to see everyone training hard and having fun on the mat. 🔥🥋
These young athletes are building strong technique, confidence, and resilience.
Quote of the day:
“Fall down seven times, get up eight.” – Japanese Proverb
We’re incredibly proud of every kid who showed up and gave it their all!
We’re looking forward to bringing all the kids together at our Winter Holiday Judo Camp. The program is being finalised — stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Kids Judo 🔥 Red vs Yellow Cone Challenge!
The loser does 5 push-ups 💪

Discipline + Fun = Best combo!

No trending music. Just the sound of the coach on the mats.

I usually get asked about the best way to transition from Kuzure Kesa Gatame to Mune Gatame. Instead of music, I wanted you to hear the raw instructions—exactly how we coach it on the mats.

Good technique is built on constant, clear communication, even when you’re under pressure.
