How do I get started with Judo?
To begin, simply select one of our beginner classes tailored to the appropriate age group. Once you’ve chosen your session, feel free to reach out for additional information or arrive at the session fifteen minutes early. During this brief period, we’ll handle any necessary paperwork and ensure you’re ready to start training right away. We uphold a no-pressure policy, meaning that if you decide not to participate on a particular day, that’s perfectly fine. We’re here to support you or your child in starting at a pace that suits them best.
For participants, wearing comfortable attire like tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt is recommended. If your hair extends beyond your shoulders or ears, it’s essential to have a hairband for safety. Please refrain from wearing painted nails and jewellery, as these pose potential safety risks for both yourself and others on the judo mat.
Likewise, if your child is joining the session, make sure they are dressed appropriately for rolling and stretching—typically, a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt are ideal. Ensure they have no jewelry, or painted nails, and if their hair is of substantial length, it should be tied up above the collar. For the initial sessions, parents must stay on the premises. However, after a few sessions, if your child feels comfortable, your presence is no longer required.
How much is the session?
Embarking on your journey with United Judo is both welcoming and hassle-free. Distinguishing ourselves from other judo clubs in the vicinity, we provide a TWO WEEK FREE trial service. This grants you or your family member the chance to experience the sport firsthand before committing to any session fees.
We are proudly part of the British Judo Association.
