On Saturday, the nation's elite judoka step out to claim their national crowns, with competition across Cadets (u18), Junior (u21) and Senior (over 21) divisions, including Adapted judo. On Sunday, our kyu grades (non-blackbelt players) battle it out for honours, alongside our Under 15s and Under 13s competitors.

The National Randori Camp takes over Carrara on Monday, kicking off with a massive J-Girls session. Book your places now! J-Girls Take Nationals. National Randori Camp.

In between contests, browse the stalls offering everything from judogi to t-shirts, gear bags, and athletic gear from vendors such as Essimo, Adidas, Team Elite, Shihai, Kusakura and DojoNeeds. Meet a representative from the ADF to talk possible defence careers, and come meet us at the Judo Australia booth for information on membership, coaching, refereeing and other volunteer roles, programs such as J-Girls and the JA Mentor program, and Sporting Schools.
