Judo Club

Spotlight On Sports Clubs

Judo has existed for a number of years as an active sport in the university. However, the club still suffers from the disadvantage of not having a core of high-graded members.

At Present, each year, the club has to build up from a group of enthusiastic but nevertheless inexperienced members. This enthusiasm makes the club an active body, giving it a social and financial reputation the envy of less fortunate clubs.

The future of our Judo club looks promising and the signs of the sport's development in New Zealand were evident at the recent New Zealand schoolboy Judo championships.

Here boys of primary as well as secondary schools demonstrated "the ways of gentleness" or maximum efficiency from the minimum of effort, the teaching of which is embodied in our Judo activities. The championships also proved that even a ten-year-old can master the curriculum of skill necessary for good Judo.
