About Tori Judo 取 柔道
Tori Judo brings authentic Kodokan judo to Prahran, offering an inner-Melbourne home for one of the world's great grappling arts. As a non-striking martial art built on technique, balance and timing, judo here is taught as a path to fitness, flexibility and genuine self-defence rather than aggression.
The club welcomes all levels, from curious first-timers to seasoned grapplers, with adult sessions focused on standing throws and groundwork and a separate kids' stream designed to build confidence and discipline. Students consistently describe the teaching as patient and skilful, covering both newaza and standing technique in a way that keeps newcomers hooked from their very first session.
Affiliated with Victorian Judo, the Australian Kodokan and Judo Australia, Tori Judo carries the traditions and standards of the sport's governing bodies, and even outfits members with quality IJF-approved gis and gear. With classes spread across its Prahran studio and a Brighton venue for juniors, it is an approachable, community-minded club for anyone wanting to learn proper technique while getting fit.
