New to judo?
Regardless of your age if you're starting out at judo we won't make you wait for a beginners course, just come along to the appropriate class and follow these simple rules
Your first judo lesson is free, after that it is just £4 per session and once you're happy you want to stay we can look judo kits, licences and loyalty card. There's no rush!
What to expect?
The origins of judo base it’s philosophy on mutual respect, discipline, confidence, integrity and fair play. Comberton judo club is a safe practice environment that is part of the national judo structure and works closely with local schools and universities.
Judo is a bit of a “rough and tumble” sport but it is fun and very diverse. Anybody, regardless of body shape, gender, age and physical ability can do judo. Judo is about being able to beat your opponent and everyone is good at something, you just have to find out what you’re good at and impose that upon your opponent.
In the children's class the focus is on fun and physical literacy- agility, balance, co-ordination and speed. So although the class is for 5-8 year olds there maybe older children who would benefit from more physical literacy than judo training. All of this is learnt through judo skill and games as well as some basic gymnastics.
The older children's class is for children aged 9-13 years old although there maybe some younger or older children in this group. This group focuses more on “judo for judos’ sake” classes focus upon judo as a competitive sport (although not all players in this group compete) and on judo skills, tactics and fitness.
Our adult recreational classes focus on the technical elements of judo, they're about learning the skills and techniques at your own pace.
You can do a little or as much as you wish. For more information on judo world wide and it’s origins click here.
If you already do judo and would like to join one of our performance classes, AASE or the full-time training group please contact us or just turn up to the randori session any week.
