Brent Rickards
Brent began his judo journey in 2011 at the age of 25, proving that it’s never too late to start something new. With a lifelong background in sport, he quickly developed a deep passion for judo and began coaching just three years later, in 2014.
In 2017, Brent showcased his dedication and skill by winning a gold medal at the Australian National Judo Championships. He earned his black belt in 2018 – a milestone that reflects his commitment and technical ability.
Today, Brent shares his knowledge and love for judo with both junior and senior students, creating a supportive environment where everyone can grow, achieve their goals and discover the benefits of starting judo at any age.
