Welcome to the UniSA Judo Club!
We are based out of both City East and City West campuses.
Our club was established in 1972 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022. We are Judo Australia (SA) affiliated club and a member of Kodokan Judo Institute (Tokyo, Japan).
Our approach

Our members are a diverse group of people, including UniSA students, graduates and people from the wider community.
