Hirose Judo Academy

Hirose Judo Academy brings authentic Japanese judo coaching to Carrara on the Gold Coast, offering a structured pathway grounded in traditional technique and international competition experience. The academy welcomes complete beginners through to aspiring competitors, with an approach that prioritises safe, progressive learning from the very first session.

Newcomers start with the fundamentals — movement, ukemi (safe falling), gripping and core mechanics — before progressing toward more advanced skills and, for those who want it, competitive judo in a supportive and disciplined setting. The junior program is a particular strength, giving young athletes a place to build coordination, resilience and respect alongside their throwing and grappling.

More than a martial art, judo here is framed as a long-term development journey that builds confidence, fitness and character. Whether a child is trying the sport for the first time or a dedicated student is preparing for the mat at competition, Hirose offers experienced guidance in a focused training environment. A free trial makes it easy to step on the mat and see if judo is the right fit before committing.
