ABOUT USJudo Ryu WA was founded in early 2005 to provide Judo training to children aged 5½ and over. Coach Robert's kids were old enough to start Judo, but nobody offered classes. Hence we started teaching classes at the Fremantle PCYC initially only for children, but soon followed by additional classes catering for all age groups, and all levels. We now offer Judo classes from three different locations in Perth's southern suburbs. Check our current training locations and times for more information. Our Coaches  Head coach Robert
Our head coach is Robert Tichelaar, a Ni-Dan Judo (2nd Dan black belt), who trained in The Netherlands and has over 36 years of experience as a Judo player, qualified coach, and international Referee. Robert, a father of 4 (GBGB), is also the Managing Director of My Gym Children's Fitness Centers here in Australia. Judo Ryu WA is proudly brought to you as an integral part of My Gym Children's Fitness Centers. For more information on My Gym, please visit www.My-Gym.com.au. Coach Steve Steve Roberts, a father of 3 (GBB), an Ik-Kyu Judo (Brown belt), trained locally right here in Western Australia in a variety of Martial Arts. Steve has been proud supporter and intergral part and assistant coach with Judo Ryu WA since the start. Junior coach Patrick Patrick started Judo in 2004 at the Fremantle PCYC, is a current junior brown belt, and has competed in the Australian National championships in 2009 (Canberra) and 2010 (brisbane). Patrick regularly coaches the warm-up part of classes and kids just love to (try and) verse him during training and has an excellent report with children in general. Patrick frequently assists in My Gym Children's Fitness Center's birthday parties. Junior coach Owen Owen started Judo in 2004 at the Fremantle PCYC, is a current junior brown belt, and has competed in the Australian National championships in 2009 (Canberra) and 2010 (Brisbane - 3rd place). Owen has great technical skills and is able to transfer these skills to our younger friends in class. How we teach Robert teaches Judo in an active, fun and safe manner. Judokas (players) are taught a variety of techniques, while at the same time learning to respect and "care" for each other. This is based on Robert's principle that "Judo is Duo", meaning that it takes two to practise Judo. In other words, you should look after each other, as you cannot play Judo on your own. About our name The Japanese word "Ryu" translates into "Place where the tradition is carried forward", in other words a "School". Judo Ryu WA then becomes Judo Schools Western Australia. About our logo The colour orange was choosen to reflect energy, joy and brightness (in life), as well as to acknowledge coach Robert's home country Holland, which national colour is orange (after the Royal family's last name being "van Oranje"). The middle orange circle (with slightly darker outer circle) reflects the Japanese rising sun, acknowledging the japanese origins of our great olympic sport. The japanese characters on the left mean "Ju" and the ones on the right mean "Do", together forming the word Judo, meaning "The Gentle Way". And last but not least, the blue and white judo players in the middle reflect the competition side of the sport which at international level is practised by one player wearing a blue and the other wearing a white suit.
