First Quarter Competition Results 2020

Judo Matsu has had a great start to the year in the competitive landscape.

The Club was involved in three major competitions, including the Annual Kosen Judo Tournament, the ACT International Open; and last weekend’s, NSW International Open.

The Kosen Judo Tournament – a team-based competition without weight classes and time limit on the ground. This was Judo Matsu’s first attendance, and brought along a women’s team consisting of Mel, Yvonne and Romina, who successfully won gold in their division. Judo Matsu, with the help of some Zenbu team-mates, won silver for the men’s division. A great day all round – well done everyone!
