Gentle Judo for over 60s (Finding your feet initiative)
Build balance, boost fitness & learn safe falling skills
Our Gentle Judo classes are specially designed for complete beginners, providing a safe and supportive environment to explore the art of judo. Aligning with the national Finding Your Feet initiative, we start with one of the most essential skills: learning how to fall safely.
Falling incorrectly can cause serious injury and dent everyday confidence, so we place great emphasis on building physical resilience and proper technique from the very beginning.
United Judo will soon be introducing new Gentle Judo classes specifically tailored for the over-60-year-old judoka, focusing on mobility, balance, and lifelong well-being.
Learning essential safe-falling techniques to prevent everyday slips and injuries. Improve joint mobility, core strength, and confidence with others. Practised on high-density impact mats for maximum safety and peace of mind. No special uniform needed for beginners; just wear something comfortable, and we can provide the rest.

Comment from Head Coach Dave Quinn
“It’s known that falling over anywhere diminishes confidence and often leads to people being less active within their community, causing them to socially miss out on things they’re interested in. We’ve structured a class around sharing knowledge, which could save you from serious injury whilst learning more about balance and fitness within Judo.
There is no better place to learn than on our sprung matting and industrial-size impact mats. Allowing you to learn, become more confident and do less damage to ourselves!”
