the first training sessions on Tuesday October 1st and Thursday October 3rd.
For more information about starting with the club, and particularly what we are doing to be as COVID-safe as possible please see the Getting Started page.
The club is affiliated to the British Judo Association with training sessions run by BJA coaches. This site has information about judo as a sport and martial art, when our training sessions take place, and how to go about joining the club. Take a look around and drop us a line or come along to a training session if you want to know more.
Our training sessions accommodate those interested in judo for many reasons; such as a fun way to gain fitness, physical awareness and coordination, or as a competitive martial art. Every year we love to see lots of you improving your judo and progressing through the coloured belts.
For those with an interest in the competitive aspects of judo, the club has a good record of success in competitions. 2024 saw players winning at the University Championship and at inter-university competition in Warwick as well as representing the club in local competitions.
Please look around the site to find out more about judo and the club. We encourage anyone interested in judo to come along and visit a training session so that you can see a class for yourself. If you have any questions that are not answered in these pages you can email us at judo@soton.ac.uk
