Juniors

We have two junior classes that are both well attended and cater for children from five years of age.

5 to 8 years - Friday Evenings 6pm to 7pm

These classes are for our young Judoka to learn the principles of Judo in a safe and fun environment. The emphasis is on learning how to fall safely, along with some basic throwing and holding techniques and early contest skills.

The children also have the opportunity to join the British Judo Association and begin practical assessments for their Mon grades.

8 to 16 years - Friday Evenings 7pm to 8pm

These classes are suitable for older Judoka, usually aged over eight years old and build on the skills learnt in the previous class or introduce Judo to novice players starting Judo for the first time. The focus is to build on the child's skills, teaching new techniques and skills with the aim of grading for coloured belts or attending competitions. As the child's confidence grows more complex techniques are taught with a view to progresion to Senior classes around the child's sixteenth birthday.
