UTS Judo Club

They only get bigger and better 👌

The credit goes to all the volunteers that step up to support a greater experience for everyone participating.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who contributed.

To the seminar presenters who put on a masterclass for everyone in attendance. The referees, timekeepers, and mat marshals who facilitate every match. The photographers and videographers that capture the highs and the lows. The coaches who support the participants throughout the seminar and competition. The sponsors who support the initiative! Finally, the participants who come together to share in the goal of mastering their skill.

You can guarantee each one of these people want these opportunities to get bigger and more frequent.

Stay tuned for the next one! 🗓️

The testing ground for technique is competition!

“There is always progress where there is effort” - Jigoro Kano

The outcome is irrelevant, and whether you triumph or you fall, the credit goes to those in the arena.

What we expect is that everyone walks into every match with focus on the variables they can control to apply their skill. And walk off with feedback that will inform their approach to improving as they move forward in their development.

Everyone in the team has trained hard and deserves to be out there competing.

We’re behind you all 100%

1, 2, 3… “Oouuts” 👏

Sydney Competition Series Seminar 🥋

The last event was stacked with people wanting to learn!

We expect the next one to be bigger and better as we aim to deliver more experiences that aim to improve your skill.

This event is for yellow, orange, and green belts who want to learn the art of competition. Running the seminars are expert coaches who have had miles of international experience at the top level of competition, prepared to teach you their insights on effectively applying skill in competition. It’s exciting to know the next wave of high grades in judo will have these skills as they progress through the ranks.

You can join the seminar - warmup, skill Instruction, and randori - by entering via the Smoothcomp link in the bio. The competition is only an opt-in, and it costs the same, whether you are there to spectate and support your team or compete.

We welcome everyone to the event and know that it will be a very supportive environment for you to learn and improve 👏

Welcome to the intermediate class 🟠

This class educates members on the skills important to the application of techniques in the judo syllabus, and offers opportunity to use them live.

Yoko tomoe nage 🥋

To efficiently throw your opponent over with this technique requires key aspects of balance breaking and body positioning. It is a sacrifice throw in which you give up your own position, dropping beneath your opponent’s centre, to guide them over. The side variation (yoko) opens the angle, taking uke over the shoulder rather than straight overhead.

Intermediates run weekly on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 pm at UTS.
