NAU MAI, HAERE MAI

Welcome to Judo Aotearoa

Judo Aotearoa is a charitable trust set up to help develop Judo in Aotearoa.

The Judo Aotearoa development pathway has been put together for the sole purpose of providing up and coming judo players across the country a opportunity to receive the finest coaching and supplementary disciplines to assist in their athletic career.

Judo Aotearoa also aims to assist with financial support so our athletes may travel to gather further experience and growth from learning from and about other cultures whilst sharing aroha from Aotearoa.
