History

Judo International was founded in 2004 as a centre of excellence for the development of judo through international exchange.

Club founder, Peter Middleton lived in Japan for 6 years between 1998 and 2003 during which time he developed a strong friendship with Mr Hisashi Tsuboi (7th Dan) then head coach of Komazawa University High School Judo Club and senior member of the Tokyo High School Judo Association. The two found that they had a common dream of having their own judo club and from this grew the idea of developing a training centre in Perth.

 

Peter established the training centre in Osborne Park upon his return to Perth in 2004 with Mr Tsuboi as club patron. His goal is to develop judo in Perth to an Olympic level through international judo exchange.

 

The training centre moved to a new purpose built premises in Stirling in March 2008 and then to Churchlands SHS in August 2009.

3.             Have a positive and friendly atmosphere that promotes health, wellbeing, self confidence and respect for others.

4.             Encourage all members to reach their own personal goal through commitment and hard work.
