Riley Bradshaw also won silver, Lucas Norman-Hardiman took a bronze and a special award, while Mark Mills collected two bronze medals.
Ferndown also won the National Junior Judo ratio shield which was presented to Sensei Jordan Lee by Sensei Hatamoto John Hanrahan who was chairman for more than 16 years before handing over to Erica Lee in 2016.
Hanrahan said: “I am still very proud of the Jitsu club's new achievements and it is great to see them still bringing national trophies back to Ferndown and Dorset."
