Age is just a number
5 - 10 Years (Primaries)
We start our judoka from 5 years old on the “first mat” the beginning at 19:15 and going on until 20:10. This is a basic fundamental judo mat with the main focus being coordination, posture and the basics of a strong judo character with respect shown mutually.

10 - 16 Years (Juniors)
After the primaries leave around 20:10 it the tome for the Juniors, these attend along with our Seniors (over 16s) with this mat being much more towards the technical side of judo, its still enjoyable but focus is expected at this level and a little more hard work, where there is hard work there is always achievement.

Seniors (16+)
Seniors are very much an upcoming group, we have some 16 year olds who have been with us from 5 years old going up to people who have joined in their 30s and 40s, all really enjoy their judo and have various interest in the competition route, whatever your need, we can supply.
