Judo4Kids at Blackman Park
The programme is for kids between:
5 – 9 years
10- 15 years
Your child can participate just for fun, or they can use Judo4Kids as a launching pad for competitions in the future.
There is NO pressure it is about learning the fundamentals of Judo. Judo does not involve kicking or punching. It’s grappling and wrestling (and let’s face it kids love to grapple and wrestle so they should be taught how to do it safely). Their motto is what happens on the mat, stays on the mat and not at home. Both boys and girls enjoy the action at Judo4Kids in Lane Cove.
Find out all about Judo4Kids here.
Roman can’t wait to tell you about their school holiday programme. He told us it will be a Holiday Camp that is jammed pack with action and fun for kids (and some relief for parents 4 hours on a Saturday – Parent’s brunch yes please). The sessions are planned for two Saturday 16 January 2021 and 23rd January 2021. Details will be in ITC’s School Holiday guide.

Kumon Lane Cove
At Kumon, we personalise each student’s program, right from the beginning. Students begin study at a level that allows them to build self-confidence from day one, and progress according to their ability rather than their age. Over time, our students develop the study habits, attitude and skills that will allow them to study advanced material confidently and independently.
Kumon has operated in Lane Cove for over 30 years, and is run by local mum (and ex-Kumon Student) Sheryl Lee. We are constantly adjusting our centre to ensure the safety of our students, staff and the local community. Families can study with us in person, online, or via correspondence – choose the system that suits your family best!
Find out more about the Kumon Method of Learning by watching our introductory video (kumonglobal.com/kumon-a-foundation-for-the-future/) or booking an Orientation Meeting directly with Sheryl at [email protected].
