The Art of Judo teaches a Judo player to use their oponent's strength, balance and impetus against themselves. Once the skill is acquired the confidence of a player is improved so that they will use this confidence in their everyday life. Concentration and belief in oneself and ones abilities is improved beyond measure. It is found that there is a great levelling within a Club so that all ages and abilities and disabilities can be catered for.

The Art and Sport of Judo is, self defensive rather than aggressive and  therefore, not, usually, used outside the Judo Hall.

One of the important attributes of Judo aside from other similar Martial Arts is that we teach, initially and primarily, the art of falling without harming oneself before teaching any of the methods of throwing an opponent.  This initial ability, once learned, is a vital help in the performance of any other sport.

We accept Junior players from the age of 5 until 16 according to their build, we can accept them earlier and the acceptance will be after a short trial to see if they actually like the sport. 
 
We can provide a Gi (that is the name for the white uniform that they must wear to do the sport). There will be a small deposit (refundable) and they can offset this deposit to purchase their own, new, suit when they are ready. 
A complete suit with belt (Obi) will cost, from £17.50 according to size.
