Balwyn Judo Club was transformed for a day into a set for the motion picture "MY EYES". Should be in theatres late 2024. We all learnt what it was like to be a movie extra.

Only 3 days left to book in with Smoothcomp.

Do you want to break into the Movies?
A film company, Benevolence Pt Ltd, is making a film provisionally titled “MY EYES” with a blind judoka the protagonist. They require adult Judo extras ie 30 years or so, with a white judogi, for October 17 during the day.
Please telephone Chloe on 0401 875 875 for information.
(Genuine offer from a local movie company)

The mat cupboard is empty. The mats have been hired by a movie company making a film, working titles "My eyes" about a blind judoka. Stay on the lookout for it next year.

Not enough class time for Kata? This is for you!

These workshops have always been enjoyable

Emma wins 2 bronze medals at Bendigo!

Happy Mothers Day and a big THANK YOU to all the mums who get their children to Judo classes

Ern Knoop's funeral is set for May 4 (Thursday) at 2 pm at Renowden Chapel, Springvale Botanical Cemetery, 600 Princes' Highway, Springvale. I apologise for my previous screw-up on the dates.

Would you like to have the rules nice and neat for quick reference? unlike the IJF versions. You can get Office Works or anyone with a "double sided" printer (nice if it folds and staples too) to print up a booklet of the IJF rules, the Judo Victoria Junior rules and a wire bound 2 pages at a time version of the IJF rules explanation (bigger than the rules). It can cost, but they are really nice:
IJF Refereeing Rules:http://www.judobalwyn.org.au/.../04/Rules-2023-final.pdf
IJF Rules Explanation:

Be ready for the State Titles.

VALE Dr Ern Knoop my sensei. This is the end of an era. Dr Ern Knoop 7th Dan, second of the 3 founders of Judo Victoria and Foundation President, former Secretary/Treasurer of the JFA (now JA) and life member of JA,
passed away early this morning (25 April) at Box Hill Hospital. R.I.P.
