Australia–Japan Junior Wrestling Exchange 2024

Welcoming the Koshti Club Junior Team to Sydney!

NSW Wrestling is thrilled to announce a special international exchange as part of our ongoing Australia–Japan Wrestling Program. For the first time ever, we are proud to host the Koshti Club Junior Wrestling Team from Tokyo, Japan — supported by San-E Maritime — right here in Sydney!

The Japanese team will be in Australia from August 18 to August 23, competing at the NSW Cup Tournament on August 24 and participating in the NSW Cup Juniors Training Camp (August 18–22)

This visit follows the NSW senior team’s 2023 tour to Kobe, where our athletes were generously hosted by San-E Maritime and trained alongside their local team. We are excited to now return the favor and build even stronger ties between our wrestling communities.
