New Starters
New Starter Information
New starters are always welcome and we cater for children as young as 5yrs old. Taster sessions for junior beginners are FREE and are run in the first week of each month.
Judo training sessions typically consist of a gymnastics, fall breaking and games based warm-up, followed by technical instruction and skill drills to practice throwing and grappling techniques, then sparring and a cool down - The video at the bottom of this page should give you an idea of what to expect at your first judo session.
We will lend you a judo jacket and belt each session for the first four weeks trial period, all you need is a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms (no zips or poppers) or leggings (no shorts) - you should also bring some clean flip flops or crocs and a full water bottler.
Your first lesson is free, the next three weeks sessions are £5 pay-as-you-play. If you decide to continue with judo after the four-week trial period you will then be required to move over to one of the club's monthly membership payment options, take a British Judo membership and purchase a judo uniform.
If you interested in starting the Olympic sport of judo, please scroll down to the New Starter Request Form and submit a form to book your free taster session or to request additional information.
