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).

hear hear

karo is a true exponent of the application of judo in the modern context.

in the spirit of such innovators would it not be appropriate to hold a no gi seminar/randori session at you club say last friday of the month? call it say combat judo?

i recall when my men had downtime while on ops during the katanga secession i often got my regimental sergeant major to organise catch wrestling sessions - as many real world situations involve opponents wearing t-shirts or less
