New Starters Information
New starters are always welcome, taster sessions for junior beginners are FREE and are run in the first week of each month.
We will lend you a judo jacket and belt each session for the first four weeks, all you need is a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms or leggings (no zips or shorts) - you should also bring some flip flops and a full water bottler. If you decide to continue with judo you will need to purchase your own judo uniform, which we sell at reduced prices for members, a beginner’s judogi costs from just £20.
We are not currently running any sessions for adult beginners, please contact us if you wish to be added to the waiting list.
Judo training sessions typically consist of a gymnastics and fall breaking based warm-up, followed by technical instruction and skill drills to practice throwing and grappling techniques and then some sparring - The video near the bottom of this page should give you an idea of what to expect from your first judo session.
If you interested in starting the Olympic sport of judo, please submit a New Starters Request Form to book your taster session or to request additional information.
