Kokoro Judo

If you are considering martial arts as a way of self-defence, getting and staying fit, then nothing is more successful at helping you achieve those goals than Judo... and there is no better coach than an Olympian and Commonwealth Games gold medalist.

While many successful athletes coach in the larger cities, Jean-Claude has settled with his family in Penrith and believes it’s a great place to live, work and raise a family. Locals benefit from having a well respected coach and Olympic athlete so close to home to impart his skills, knowledge and experience to help others realise their own goals and dreams.

KIDS JUDO

Judo: The Secret Weapon In Creating Confident, Motivated & Focused Kids

Judo is not just for adults. Kids and teenagers benefit greatly from our strong junior curriculum focusing on holistic skills for life both on and off the mats.

If your child is lacking in confidence and doesn’t want to opt for the more aggressive self defence arts such as Muay Thai, Judo will give them the base upon which to build a solid foundation of physical and mental strength…and the earlier they start, the better!

Worried about martial arts for your child? Judo is known as "the gentle way" and is a non-combative art form which does not include kicking, punching or striking. Instead, Judo promotes sporting and self-defence skills through leveraging energy and motion.

We teach our students the correct way to protect themselves without resorting to aggressive defence techniques.

By training with us at Kokoro Judo Coaching, you will get:

• A family-friendly closed-knit community of like-minded professionals who want to gain from the physical benefits that Judo has to offer

• Effective Self defence skills in a safe, comfortable and fully-equipped training facility

• Techniques and skills best suited for your height, weight and size...no prior experience necessary

• A whole body, all-round solution for you to reach your fitness goals and protect yourself and your loved ones

• Increased confidence, self-esteem and empowerment to see you through your martial arts journey and all the challenges life may throw at you
