FAQ

How Old does my child need to be?

Children as young as 5 can participate, members under 8 progress through what is called the SHO syllabus once they have a license. It doesn't give out tabs or belts, but don't worry it's free to grade and when you turn 8, transfers to the MON syllabus

Do I need a membership to start with?

No, we are fully affiliated with the BJA and beginners are covered temporarily under our insurance, however a Judo License is required for Judoka to grade and also gives enhanced insurances.

How do I progress in Judo?

Once you're sure Judo is for you, you'll want to get a BJA Judo license. This not only fully insures you, but is required for players to grade on the Mon (child) or Kyu (Adult) syllabus, there is also a charge to grade.

Where is it?
