Took my daughter here to find her a new club to train at after trying a few in the area for her she's very much settled her hear on this one. Gareth and the rest of the team of sensei's are fantastic with the kids and the mat area great. You really cannot go wrong at all with the location and with cost of training being so good as well compared to other clubs it's a win win.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a club for their children or for themselves in the local to go give it a try you won't be disappointed at all.

Good fun for the kids
Making new friends, exercising and of course learning Judo. Great fun watching kids do what they love with a smile on their faces
Stevie Baines - Millies Mum
This family ran club is the epitome of everything that is good and proper about local judo.
Highly recommended for all ages, and for just £5 per session this is the best value in the Surrey county

I used to bring my son to AJC ten years ago as a primary. After a few years of kickboxing, I wanted to find a new club closer to home and came back to AJC to learn Judo. If you are looking for a great club, with a great atmosphere for learning, great fighters and unbelievable prices look no further.
It’s more than a club it’s a family!
Gabriel Ajose - 3rd Kyu
Great club. Very welcoming. As a 40yr old newcomer to the sport I have found everyone very supportive, going out of their way to share knowledge. Plenty of people at all levels of experience. Only club I have found where adults and kids train at the same time so I can train same time as my sons, which is a great time saver.
Chris Mortimer - 4th Kyu
i joined this club 7 years ago , and it’s a very welcoming and friendly environment that’s treats every student with respect and builds like a family. the club and sport is very good for both children from 5 and all the way up to adults of any age. the coaching is excellent and teaches all not only self defence but also discipline aswell as creating a great environment for socialising. it’s also enjoyable and help build self esteem and confidence within an individual,so if your thinking of joining give it a try and see how you get on.
i hope to welcome you onto the mat soon.
Charleigh Roberts - 3rd Kyu
After starting Judo at the end 2023 I was looking for a new club to do a second class a week, and hands down this is the best one I've attended! Gareth and the other instructors are very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable creating a friendly and fun atmosphere for the club. The classes are well structured and very informative. I will definitely be back for more.

This is an amazing club!!!, with fantastic and passionate Sensei's who have taken on the challenge of supporting my blind daughter with her Judo journey. They are truly lovely and welcoming people, including the children. They have helped her grow and gain further skills and become an even better Judoka.

This club is fantastic. I have had 30 years out of Judo and coming back and been so enjoyable. The Sensei team and knowlegable and supportive. The other members and even children are keen to share their experience. The club is welcoming and family friendly. £3 a session is fantstic value. Sensei Gareth is all about sharing his passion for Judo to make a difference to people's lives.
