History

Judo was first introduced to Australia in 1906. However, the first club for the sport wasn’t created until 22 years later when Brisbane Judo Club was found in 1928 by Kodokan dan grade Dr. A.J. Ross. [1]

Since then, national organizations like Judo Australia (founded in 1952) have been in place to try to help promote and develop the sport as a full member sport of the Combat Institute of Australia (CombatAUS). [2]

Structure

The national body has eight state member associations:

The main tournament they organise is the annual Australian National Judo Championships.
