Choosing the right platform for a judo club's online presence is crucial for its growth and community engagement. While Facebook is a popular and versatile social network, Judo Connect offers specific advantages tailored to the needs and aspirations of judo clubs. Here are three main reasons why Judo Connect is a better choice for a judo club compared to using Facebook as their primary social network:

Congratulations to our players of the night from Friday, they all worked so hard and impressed all of our coaches with their work ethic and determination keep up the good work!

Feel free to also ask yours!

1. What inspired you to get involved with judo?

When I was a child, my mum decided to take my older brother and me to a local judo club because we were constantly fighting at home. She hoped it would help channel our energy in a more positive direction.

2. How long have you been involved with and supporting the judo community, and what k

Hello everyone. We are very much looking forward to hosting our Annual Rumble competition this coming Sunday. It looks set to be a cracking day with approximately 225 entrants (over 3 mats) from age 4 to veterans. We have gone through all entries, and for any size/experiance anomalies, we have emailed coaches. Most of these relate to 7yr old kinders who due to size or experiance, we will likely move up to contest with our 8yr old primaries, a category where in most other competitions, they would contest in anyway. However we pride ourselves in providing a really positive contest experiance

Our Upcoming master class has now been given Go ahead to count toward a coach revalidation, so for any coaches wishing to come please get in touch with club to book your place.
Hope to see you all there.

16 ladies (and 1 male coach 😂) on the ladies only session tonight. And again loads of regular faces off on their holidays! Gonna be awesome in September when everyone is back.

Well done to everyone who came tonight. Keep up the good work ladies.

Our coaches are now fully rested and refreshed, ready to return to Judo.

We are thrilled to announce that classes will resume today, the 22nd of July. We can't wait to see all of our students back in class, reuniting with their friends and continuing their martial arts journey with renewed enthusiasm.

Although we had a quiet night we were fortunate to have visitors from Senshi Judo club and East Kilbride judo club join us. We enjoyed some quality newaza coaching from John McDonald and last but not least we were also delighted to see Marine first class Leodhais McDonald back on the mat.

Sometimes it takes someone to remind you, how lucky you are. Bill Sargent Jnr pointed out that we really have an amazing diversity of players at our club. I have to agree as here is a regular night training over the summer holiday time when many clubs close, with Veterans, Adaptive, National, Visitors, Juniors, Advanced and Beginners. Not forgetting our players as young as 14 wanting to join the senior practise. Well done all, us coaches are very proud to inspire all corners of the judo community AND MOST OF ALL proud to have you.

Day 3? Completed! ✅️

The kids had some great fun learning some more difficult techniques, and showing off their skills!

Day 4 tomorrow - let's see if the coaches are still standing by the end of it 🤣

Judo has now finished for the summer. We restart Monday 9th September 6pm.

Peterlee club coaches hope you all have a nice summer and see you all again in September.

A lot of coaches don't like coaching the kids class..I love it!

Watching them learn new skills and seeing their character develop. It's a privilege!

We learn new skills but also have a laugh along the way too!

6 lessons a week from age 6 and up!
Get your child involved!

Today the club is 3 years old.

No big song and dance this year, the next major milestone will be 5 years!

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been part of this club. Past and present. To everyone that has helped in anyway in the development of the club. Coaches, students and the many favours I have called in to make the club what you see today.

The growth of the club has been nothing short of amazing, there is no other club in the UK that has grown at the rate we have in such a short space of time.

I always believe the way to happiness is to show gratitude in what

An honour to present Davie Reilly with his 5th Dan last night.

Davie has been working with our pre cadet and cadet programme for the last 20 years.

Davie is head coach of Danderhall Judo Club and was coach to your very own Colin & Callum Woods.

I’m sure any player who has been coached by Davie will agree that his contribution to their own judo, and the sport of Judo as a whole, is immeasurable.

Club visit to Ryecroft is going to be rearranged so more people can attend!!

Please feel free to still visit tomorrow but there will not be a SJA coach there.

British Judo are now pleased to launch the second batch of “Finding Your Feet” Coach Education Workshops taking place across the country.

Would like to wish Coach Darren and Vicki all the best on their wedding day and for the future. Enjoy the day and always be there for each other. x 🍾💍

Just a reminder to everyone.
Summer holidays are now in full swing and the club will be closing to allow players and coaches time to enjoy and recharge their batteries.
Our last Friday session will be 2nd August and our last Monday session will be 5th August, all sessions will be back to normal on Friday 30th August.
Enjoy this time off with friends and family and again thankyou for your support on and off the mat. 🥋☀️

Nominations close on Friday - if you wish to nominate any of our members, club or coaches you’ve got until Friday.

With great sadness we announce the passing of Lead Coach Paul Johnson of Scarborough Judo Club! Our thoughts are with his family at this time!
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Great summer session this evening which was run by Sean who’s a coach from York.R.I and a great friend to Ryedale! Thank you again to Sean for coming across to Ryedale and coaching the junior and seniors sessions!
