You can ask any one of our members why they love judo, and you will have different responses.

Judo is an adaptable sport, where the only competition is you:

― Jigoro Kano (Founder of Judo)

We are entering a new school term next Sunday, but we are not limited to juniors we have a great group of seniors ranging from 17-60+ years old.

Come and give us a try (the first session is on us).
