Our Tradition: Kosen + Contemporary Olympic

The Auckland University Judo Club style fuses Kosen and contemporary Olympic Judo. The current Sensei is Rick Littlewood (7th Dan, from Kodokan Judo and the NZJF). Sensei Rick has trained extensively at Doshisha University, Kyoto, and studied under Kimura Mitsuro (8th Dan), affectionately known as “Mr. Sankaku,” and Ebii Goichi (9th Dan), the “god of Newaza.” His present Judo Sensei is Isao Okano from Ryuzukei University. The Club was founded in 1960 by Jerry Van Kylenburg. We are an affiliated member of the New Zealand Judo Federation (NZJF).

Thank You!!!

Dear Yumiko,
Everyone who went on the Masters Tour to Japan would like to say a BIG thank you! We tried to get you a card or some gift but were, in the end, too useless and disorganized. Nonetheless, please accept our thanks for your singing, help translating, getting tickets (even if they were in the smoking section), ordering food, and generally looking out for us. We enjoyed your company and hope you will come again next year.
