Australian National Judo Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Australian National Judo Championships are the highest level of judo competition in Australia. The championships are held annually by Judo Australia, and qualified domestic and overseas judoka compete in their respective categories as representatives of their home states or countries. Both the women's and men's championships began in 1956, with the championships being held in Wollongong, New South Wales between 2012 and 2015.

At the 2011 event, Maria Pekli, a seven-time national championship winner, was awarded Lifetime Membership in Judo Australia.[1]
