Judd Reid
Strength of character forged on the dojo floor
World champion. 100-Man Fight. Uchi deshi under Sosai Mas Oyama. Now teaching kids, adults and fighters at 115 Hyde Street.
Welcome to Chikara
Born in Melbourne, Judd Reid was invited to Japan at 19 and lived under the strictest uchi deshi conditions for 1,000 days. A 20-year international fighting career followed — state titles, the Australia Championship, and a world title — culminating in the legendary 100-Man Fight.
Shihan Reid’s wish now is to give back through Chikara Martial Arts: confidence, discipline, respect and character for you, your family and your kids.
