Judoka to kick butt at national tournament
This is one of the toughest competitions judoka have to face.
The South African Open Judo Championships are the highlight of the South African Judo Calendar.
This is why KJK Judo School is proud to announce that many of their judoka are going to compete for medals in this tournament, which will take place between 1 and 7 July at the Madibaz Indoor Centre, Missionvale Campus in Port Elizabeth.
