About Wanganui Judo Club

Welcome to the Wanganui Judo Club, the oldest judo club in Whanganui! We’ve been around since 1954, so we’ve been proudly teaching in the Whanganui community for over 65 years.

Our mission at Wanganui Judo Club is to promote the values of courage, respect, and self-control through the practice of judo. We think that if our members learn these values in class, they can use them in their everyday life and become great examples for others in our community.

Hamish W.
Student, Senior Judo Classes
I have been doing Judo for approximately 12 months and just recently achieved my yellow belt. Judo has been of massive benefit to my physical and mental health and I would recommend it to anybody. Wanganui Judo Club is a fantastic club with great instructors and classmates. I feel very fortunate to have discovered this sport and such highly skilled Instructors and peers to help progress my learning.
Graeme S
Student, Senior Judo Classes
I have been playing Judo for more than 20 years throughout my life. I have been a member of the Wanganui Judo Club for more than 10 years during my career in the sport. I have trained as a Junior Boy (joining the club at about 7 years old) through intermediate age and more recently as a Senior. The Wanganui Judo Club provides a safe, friendly environment within which to learn the techniques and skills to be successful. The club is extremely lucky to have Wayne Watson as the senior Sensei in the club. All club members are friendly and supportive. I would recommend this club to anybody of any age. Come and give it a go.
