Matt Peppas

Matt is a 1^st Dan blackbelt and one of our success stories! He began studying judo with us 14 years ago and has now joined our staff as an assistant coach. He has participated in numerous competitions. Matt now looks after our beginners’ classes for both children and adults.

Matt is a very patient coach and is perfect for our beginners which requires a significant degree of patience as the students build their understanding and a passion for the world of judo.

Matt recalls where he was when he started judo and uses those memories to establish classes that make sense for our students who are new to the concept of judo and have started opening their minds to its possibilities.
