We’re back!

Well, it has been a while, but we are going to be back on the mat.

The 2021 academic year kicks off with a taster session this Sunday (3/10/21) from 5.30-6.30pm. During this session, you will be able to watch our coaches demonstrate a variety of judo techniques and will also get the opportunity to try throwing some of the current club members around!

Our first beginner session is being held on Thursday the 7th of October, from 6-8pm – this is the session for anyone that has no previous judo experience, or for those who did some judo in the past but have been away from the mat for a few years and want to brush away the cobwebs. All you have to do is turn up in comfortable gym wear – preferably long sleeved and able to be stretched around a little.

For those with previous experience, our main Tuesday training session starts on Tuesday the 5th of October, from 8-9.30pm. This is for judoka who have their own judo kit and are confident in breakfalls and the basics of judo.

The one thing we need everyone that wants to come along to do is to test for Covid. Given the nature of Judo we need to do this to keep us safe to train. We want to see test results from the university saliva test scheme, OR a negative lateral flow test on the NHS app from the day of the session you are attending.

All sessions will be held in the Martial Arts Room, at the bottom of the Students’ Union building. The direction is signposted, but we will be hanging around to guide you. We look forward to meeting you all!
