Hi all,

Training will recommence at start of school term in 2016 for juniors. The advanced classes at 6pm on Friday nights taken by sensei Les Vincent will resume on the third Friday in January.

Wesite for the judo club

2015-11-05T07:39:00.000+11:00

I would like to get some feedback about whether people prefer to use facebook or this blog site for their judo information.

Currently we pay a yearly fee to keep the 'www.unijudoclub.com' name.
If people don't use this site much, or are not too concerned over the name, then we could do without paying the fee and, if needed, direct people to 'www.unijudoclub.blogspot.com' which is free. Its due for payment soon.

Could you email or comment on this post to let me know
with regards Colin

No judo tonight

2015-08-03T13:32:00.002+10:00

Our sensei for tonight, Peter Creef, is snowed in, so there will be no judo tonight.
Training will be back on Wednesday as normal.

Friday night competition training with Les Vincent

2015-07-06T08:20:00.000+10:00

Starting Friday the 10^th July as a weekly event, the 6-8pm training session will be taken by Les Vincent, Judo Tasmania’s state coach.

Les has an impressive background in judo having competed at multiple international events as a representative of the New Zealand Judo Team. We are very lucky to have him as state coach for Tasmania, but even luckier to have him willing to undertake state training sessions at UTAS Judo on a weekly basis.

If you have any interest in competition judo or are looking to push your judo a little harder than in the normal training sessions, make sure you attend on Friday nights.

Judoka from all other clubs in the state will be invited to these sessions and this will be an excellent opportunity to test some of your skills against players that you don’t normally train with.

Costs are covered for all UTAS Judo fee-paying members.

Visiting judoka, please pay $5 on the night.

Update from departing President (Dan Bernal)

2014-10-30T14:15:00.000+11:00

Hello UTAS JUDO members,

If you have not yet paid your Judo Tasmania (JT) membership and it is due to be paid, I suggest you do this soon. JT have just approved a small increase in fees (in line with national fee increases) and you may want to get in before the change is formalised.

For University students, if you haven’t paid a JT rego this year, please do so now and you may be eligible to claim it back. We have been awarded a grant to help all students become registered, in order to grade. Notify James or myself once you’ve done this.

In September we had our AGM. Please welcome our new committee members as below:

President: James Tischler
James will organise events for the club in the new year, such as societies day stalls, and will contribute to updating our online presence. You may also like to refer to James as a general club contact

Vice President: Mark Richardson
Mark is an assistant coach at the club and helps train our junior class on Wednesday nights.

Treasurer: Helena Klarenbeek
Contact Helena if you need information on how to pay your judo fees

Secretary: Denny Fleming
Denny will take notes and write agenda for the committee meetings. If you have any ideas for the club, Denny would be a good person to mention it to.

Membership management: Dan Lynch
Dan will send out info to all new members about our club. He is also a good contact for other general club enquiries.

Judo suits (t-shirts, etc.): Anne Smalley
Judo suit too small? Contact Anne.

A big thanks to Shaun Buissink and Rosemarie Baker for their time on the committee over the past two years. They have gone above and beyond their roles to support the club. I’ll still be regular at the club coaching, but thank you for the time as your President.

We will have one more junior grading night for the year and look out for our Christmas Celebration invites coming soon.

Thank you.

2014-04-15T10:31:00.001+10:00

Congratulations to our four players representing UTAS Judo at the Tasmanian State Titles held on Sunday at the Bridgewater PCYC.
Congratulations go to Miley Fleming, Tom Double, and Roman Koelbel, all giving one hundred percent effort against strong competitors.
Well done to Toby Fleming who added another state title to his collection.
It was a hard day of competitions for all, with many recognising areas to work on at future training. Perhaps also a good start to their training program for those thinking about attending the National Championships next year.
