Monash Judo Club

Monash Judo Club is a judo club based in Notting Hill, in Melbourne's south-east near the Monash University precinct. Judo is one of the most established grappling martial arts in the world, built on throws, groundwork and a strong tradition of discipline and respect, and a dedicated club is where those skills are passed on through regular, structured practice.

Clubs like this tend to be the heart of their local martial arts community: a place where beginners take their first falls, more experienced players sharpen technique, and members of all ages train together on the mats. The appeal of judo goes well beyond self-defence, it builds full-body strength, balance, coordination and resilience, and the club setting brings a camaraderie that keeps people coming back season after season.

For anyone around Notting Hill, Clayton or the wider south-east, particularly students and locals looking to take up a martial art, Monash Judo Club offers a genuine, traditional pathway into the sport. Whether you are chasing fitness, competition or simply a new challenge, a community judo club is a welcoming and grounded place to start, with the structure and coaching that make the discipline rewarding over the long term.
