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:

Judo History

Following an exciting year in Pre-Prep 1, our children move on to Pre-Prep 2!

In PP2, the children immerse themselves in a stimulating curriculum that is linked to English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and Art, amongst other subjects. The topic of the Great Fire of London is a particular highlight, where they are transported back in time to 1666 with 'History Off the Page', for a jam-packed workshop. Fun continues around the campfire in Forest School, where children burn a variety of aprons to find the most suitable material for a bakers’ apron!

Pre-Prep 2 is also where independence

Form IV is the final year in the Boardman for our children, and an exciting one at that!

Throughout the autumn term, the children explore topics such as the USA, Anglo-Saxons, Healthy Eating, and States of Matter. The spring term brings the arrival of Vikings, with an immersive and interactive workshop with History Off the Page. Sound and Electricity is also discussed, alongside the captivating topic of the Natural Wonders of the World. As the summer term gets underway, there is a focus on South America, Habitats and, of course, the much-awaited summer residential to Longridge Activity Centr

All our coaches are volunteers, but we take our continuous professional development seriously, and always seek to provide the best learning environment for our students.

Seniors coach Andrew, has spent the past two weeks taking a course as part of his day job, called Trainers Essentials Program. Although not specifically judo related, it covered many different teaching methods and styles, which Andrew will be able to use in his coaching at Shudan.

The course culminated in an hour long assessed teach, and naturally Andrew chose to introduce the rest of the class to judo, its history, and ev

And the judoka and the Ippons just keep getting bigger 😁 We are up to to the Men’s -100 kilos category today and then Friday sees the final contests in the individual competition, the Men’s +100. Can Aaron Wolf, JPN regain his Olympic title today and will Teddy Riner make history tomorrow? We can’t wait to see 😁

As we build a more complete history of St. Albans Judo Club from 1950 to today, it’s our first 25 years that are least documented - not surprising with the passage of time. We do have these great photos from the Club Championships in 1967 though!

The height of this Dan grade’s ukemi is impressive, especially given the mats were packed with straw at the time! We’d love to track down any judoka who remember those early years…🥋 #JudoFamily #judoclub #judo #sajudo

Some history of one of the greatest ever swordsmen

Miyamoto Musashi Died On This Day, June 13, 1645.

One of the most famous samurai of all time, Miyamoto Musashi’s reputation has grown to mythic proportions over the years, despite much of his life remaining a mystery. The undefeated swordsman, master of strategy, calligrapher, painter, writer and martial arts icon, Miyamoto Musashi was born towards the end of the warring States period. He took part in a great many battles and duels, created his own unique sword style and wrote one of the best known and widest read books on strategy, confron

This year, our graduations have coincided with Carers’ Week, and we spoke to Robbie Gunn, who graduated on Thursday with an MA in Modern History, about their experience balancing studies with caring responsibilities.

“I was a young carer and an access student through the Gateway to Arts programme. My first challenge as a student was finding a balance between my care responsibilities and academic work. I made sure to communicate with my tutors so that they knew my situation and they were all so kind and provided me with additional extensions when needed.

“My advice to other care-giving stude

Well done to Will who was our judoka of the week for the first session on Friday night. Will passed his latest grading with flying colours and was exemplary on the mat throughout the session.
