Hi, I am Ellen Wright

I arrived in Adelaide in 2010. I was 11 at that time and had been playing judo since I was 6. I found that we were living near Kangaroo Club and attended a training session there. I met Chris and Harry Hustig and so began a great 3 years of judo. Thanks to the care and professionalism of Chris and Harry I won my first National Title at Perth in 2011. Since then I have travelled the world and had a fabulous judo experience. All of this started with the skill and encouragement of Chris, Harry, and the many others I met along the way at or through those early years at the Kangaroo Judo Club.

Playing judo has taught me much more than just being on the mat and trying to win, I learnt about diet, fitness, strength, determination and respect. I also gained much more than having great Judo coaches, but also becoming a member of the Judo family. If you are thinking about giving it a go or getting the kids involved in something very worthwhile, I can personally recommend Judo and the Kangaroo Judo Club.
