| WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AS A BEGINNER |
Safety is paramount in Judo.
The first lesson that you attend you will be shown how to land properly without getting hurt (Breakfalls). You will also learn a couple of basic throws and hold-downs.
You will also be taught some of the important Japanese terminology
that you will hear your instructors using from time to time.
For your first lesson you will need to wear tracksuit bottoms.
The club does have a small number of suits they will lend to beginners initially, subject to availability
Please do not wear vests or shorts.
Acceptable clothing for beginners would be old tracksuit bottoms or loose trousers (with no zips or buckles). We would recommend you let your child trial a few sessions before buying a suit or taking out membership, when ready to purchase a suit, this can be done online or at any session
After your first lesson you will be taught more fighting techniques and skills from week to week .
Within a few weeks beginners will also learn the basics of throws and grappling techniques. Judo is great recreational fun, but our first priority is SAFETY.
GRADINGS are held at about 3-monthly intervals. Beginners will be eligible for their first grading after three months of regular attendance.
Please be prompt for all training sessions, the warm-ups are an important aspect of training and should not be missed or neglected. Failure to warm-up can result in an injury and time away from training.
The mat, where possible will be split into two classes, the younger/novice players and the older more experienced players. The coaches will make the decision as to which mat the students will be on.
