Sensei Peter Page began to learn judo in December 1956. He joined Sydney University Judo Club in March, 1957, and has been a member ever since. He was elected captain of the club in 1958, and remained in that position for 6 years. During that time club membership increased from about 20 to over 150, and hundreds of new players were introduced to the sport.
He has been an instructor at the club for 47 years and currently responsible for the Saturday training session, which has a floating membership of over 50, and provides teaching and training for all players from 12 year olds to people in their 60’s, from 6th Kyu novices to 5th Dan veterans. More than one of Australia’s current Olympians find it worth while attending on a regular basis.
He has held a number of positions with the NSW Black Belt Register, which has been the technical authority for the Judo Federation of Australia (NSW) for most of the last 45 years. He has served on grading panels and instructed at courses for many years. He obtained his Yondan Judo in October 1979.
