Coach Introduction
Toshi Nakamura
Owner and Head Coach
Toshi is a highly accomplished international coach and World Champion of the Grand Masters World Judo Championships, who has dedicated his entire life to the art and passion of Judo.
Born and raised in Japan, Toshi began judo at the age of five and has since devoted his life to sharing the power and values of judo with others.
His career includes numerous regional championship titles, multiple medals from international competitions, and participation in the fiercely competitive All Japan Olympic Qualifiers — an elite tournament reserved for only the nation’s top athletes.
Subsequently, Toshi relocated to Leibnitz, Austria, where he spent seven intensive years as both a coach and competitor at a prominent local Judo club. There, he mastered the European style of Judo and earned his Judo coaching license.
Throughout this period, he has successfully developed and mentored judoka at every level — from absolute beginners to world-class athletes representing their countries on the global stage.
In 2012, Toshi moved to Australia, where he went on to hold several key coaching positions.
He has served as the Development Head Coach for Australia’s National Junior and Cadet teams, Head Coach for both the Queensland Senior and Junior state Judo teams, and Head Coach at the Brisbane Ohori Judo Club.
As a coach, he has led athletes at major international events and training camps, including the Commonwealth Games, and has played a vital role in developing numerous top-level athletes.
He recently relocated to the Gold Coast and is excited to contribute to the growth of Judo in the local community.
Known for his approachable and encouraging coaching style, Toshi has a unique ability to support not only elite athletes but also children, families, and beginners.
Through Judo, he helps people build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love for sport and wellness. He is passionate about using Judo as a tool to promote a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.
Whether you're trying Judo for the first time or aiming for the international stage, Toshi is fully committed to supporting your growth every step of the way.
No Gym? No worries.
Judo is your new way to move.
