Reviews
South Yarra Judo Academy is by far the best dojo we’ve trained at. Our son absolutely loves coming here — he’s motivated every session and always looks forward to pushing himself and learning more. The classes are engaging, fun, and well-structured, and there’s a fantastic sense of community that makes everyone feel welcome. Thanks to this dojo, our son has developed a genuine love for judo. Highly recommended!
Our son has been going to South Yarra Judo for the past two years. Sensei Leo has been such an encouraging and supportive coach since day one, constantly reminding the kids of the judo values. It is clear he deeply cares about his students and strikes the right balance between ensuring the kids enjoy judo with the right amount of push to do their best. Highly recommend Leo and South Yarra judo!
