Nippon Judo Schools
Welcome to Nippon Judo Schools – expert-led judo for all ages on Auckland's North Shore.
Nippon Judo Schools is located at 877 East Coast Road, Northcross, Auckland 0632, New Zealand.
Nippon Judo Schools was founded in 2000 by Johan Boshoff, a 6th Dan Black Belt and former National judo coach. Located on Auckland's North Shore, the club began with classes held at schools and has grown into a dedicated judo community. Johan Boshoff leads all sessions as the head coach, bringing decades of expertise to every class.
The club offers structured programs for different age groups and skill levels. Junior Class is designed for children aged 6 to 13 and runs on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Older teens and adults aged 14 and above can join the Senior Class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. An Intermediate Class is available on Monday and Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:15 pm for those advancing in their training.
For adults seeking a flexible option, the Adult Course takes place Friday nights from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. The club also delivers Primary School Classes across the North Shore and West Auckland, introducing judo to young students in an accessible environment. Newcomers are welcome to try judo with a free first lesson, making it easy to start. The Olympic sport of judo is taught in a supportive and disciplined setting at Nippon Judo Schools.
Nippon Judo Schools in Auckland has a 4.3 out of 5 rating based on 6 reviews. Many reviewers highlight positive aspects such as the quality of instruction and the environment. One parent noted that the club is great with children, offering a balance of fun and discipline. Another mentioned the teacher’s effectiveness, simply stating, “Great teacher.” The atmosphere at the club is also praised, with one person describing it as a “good atmosphere” and a “great club.”
However, one recent review states, “She’s closed down!” which suggests the club may no longer be operating. This contradicts the generally positive feedback and raises questions about current status. Given the limited number of reviews and the conflicting information, it is unclear whether Nippon Judo Schools is still active. Potential visitors should verify its operational status before planning to attend.
