About

Shihan (Master Instructor) Jean Thebeau

Jean Thebeau has more than 30 years of martial arts experience. He has trained in a variety of martial arts, including:

• 26 years of judo (5th degree black belt)
• 4 years of ju-jitsu (2nd degree black belt)
• 2 years of fencing

He is a certified coach and rank examiner, and has taught at the Auburn Sportsman’s Club for more than 10 years.

He believes the fundamentals are the foundation of all judo techniques and that they apply at every level. He is a firm believer in the judo motto “mutual welfare and benefit” — and that judo is a sport for all ages.

How we practise

We are a small, adults-only club. We are not preparing anyone for tournaments. The emphasis is on doing the basics well, looking after your training partners, and still being able to train in twenty years’ time.

Location

Classes are held in the Auburn Sportsman’s Club Meeting Hall.
