About Newtown Judo Club
Newtown Judo Club is a welcoming martial arts dojo in the heart of Newtown, training out of the historic Coronation Hall. The club has built a reputation as a tight-knit community where beginners and experienced judoka alike are made to feel like part of an extended family, and where the depth of knowledge on the mat genuinely shows.
The focus here is on traditional judo done well: throwing techniques, groundwork and the discipline, fitness and self-defence skills that come with consistent practice. Students describe learning something new every session, supported by coaches who clearly know their craft and foster a friendly, encouraging atmosphere on and off the tatami.
With a dedicated women-only class alongside its general sessions, the club is a strong choice for anyone in the Inner West curious about judo, whether the goal is competition success, fitness, confidence or simply trying something new. Newcomers are welcomed at every level, making it an accessible entry point into one of the world's great grappling arts.
