A big thank you to Jason at Lilydale who made the matching frame for Rodney, by hand. Each week we will remember Rodney by showing our respect by bowing to him at the start and end of each session. He will not be forgotten.

Earlier this month we had 3 members represent us at the Judo Australia Nationals in the Gold Coast. A big congratulations to Chase & Chev for winning Bronze in the Jnr Nage no Kata, Chev for winning Bronze in U11s, and Lisa for winning Silver in the Veterans.

National Kata Championships gets underway with a minutes silence for long time kata veteran, Rodney Cox.

Vale - Rodney Cox. Judoka, Coach, Mentor and friend. It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Rodney Cox, a beloved member of our judo family. Rodney's dedication, passion, and profound contributions to the sport of judo have left an indelible mark on our community.As the Chair of Judo Australia, I extend our deepest condolences to Rodney'...

It is with a heavy heart that I need to share the news that Rodney passed away. Rodney started off as my coach 54 years ago and has worked alongside me at Hawthorn for most of that time. Over the last ten years he has been travelling out to Lilydale to help me coach there as well. I will really miss him.
