The camp is aimed at competition athletes aspiring to compete in state and national kyu grade competition, national and international competition. This camp has run successfully over many years by inviting quality competition players who freely share their expertise during coaching sessions and then we follow it up with solid randori sessions. It is a great way to start the New Year under a tried and tested format. Knowledge and skills are shared openly to all on the mat. We teach, practise and train together, with the aim of providing individuals the opportunity to improve their Judo skills and competition performance.
