Do I need to compete?
No, competitions are part of the sport but they are purely optional and we never put pressure on the kids to attend. It’s has to be something they want to do and we will support them in their choice.
Will my training be based on me competing?
No, we have students of all ages and recognise that competitions are not for all students. Our goal is that you have fun, develop fitness and enjoy learning about Judo and what it has to offer.
Do I have to be physically fit to take part?
Absolutely not, you will get into shape as you train and participate in classes, progressing through the ranking system which in turn will enable you to perform the judo techniques, we have Judoka of all ages, sizes and abilities.
How long does it take to get a black belt?
This all depends on the individual and various factors including how much time and effort you commit to Judo, but as a rule of thumb anything from 2-10 years.
