The Australia Japan Business Council WA supported UWA Judo Club’s hosting of 15 Komazawa University High School Judoka from Dec 22nd to Jan 4th. The experience included 6 Judo practises held at UWA, home stays with local Judo Club families and some Australian experiences including a 2 night farm experience.

This exchange has been active for 35 years after Stockley Davis and Peter Swan visited Japan, after graduating at UWA, in 1991.

AJBC WA Deputy Chair, Ms Mayumi Laughton-Smith, acknowledged the “ mutual benefits of sports exchange between Australia and Japan, and the positive impacts on individuals involved in these experiences. “

We thank all who supported this initiative.
