Bushido closes down after December 5 for the school holidays and will recommence in January 2018. 

Bushido Judo Club Shoalhaven was started in February 1996 nearly 22 years ago by Bruce Fagan and Fay Fagan to give the children an alternative sport in Shoalhaven Heads, what is amazing is this club based at Shoalhaven Heads now has a membership of 137 members this includes Men, Women, Girls and boys and still growing, judo has grown so much two rooms have to be used at the Community Centre at the same time as the main hall is not big enough to fit everyone in.
