Sandro Piccirillo, 7th Dan, Technical Director of Cadets in the Italian Judo Federation, visited Sydney during October. He ran 2 Judo Australia NSW Hub sessions at Olympic Park, a NSW Coaching Course, a NSW Junior clinic and both Junior and Senior classes at Budokan. As always, his teaching methods and passion were first class and Budokan made another strong impression on him and his assistant Giovanni Di Cristo. Budokan had a significant number of participants at all these events which was very impressive and very motivating for us. Thanks to all our athletes and coaches who participated and in doing so contributed to their education and development.
