Welcome to Kugatsu Judo Club

Established in 1967, Kugatsu Judo Club is one of the oldest judo clubs in Australia. Throughout the club’s history, Kugatsu has produced a number national champions and Olympians. Training at Bass Hill Public school, Kugatsu Judo club is a part of the Bankstown sports community and has been providing training for the community for a number of years.

Judo is an art, a discipline, an Olympic sport, a means of self-defence or combat, a recreational and social activity and a way of life. It is all of these and more. Judo is a martial art that will develop your physical fitness and encourages mental discipline.

Kugatsu Judo Club welcomes general public and caters for people of different ages, sizes and ambitions. Our training is conducted by qualified coaches with experience at national and international level with some of our members regularly qualifying for the national championships.

But most of our members are there to keep fit, develop self-confidence, meet people and most importantly, to improve themselves as individuals, as originally intended by Dr Jigoro Kano the founder of judo.
