What is judo?
Judo was developed in Japan over 140 years ago and is the world’s most popular combat sport. Since its inclusion in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games Judo has continued to grow and spread across the world and is now a truly global sport, practiced by over 50 million people in more than 200 countries. In Britain there are over 1,000 judo clubs and nearly 40,000 judo players doing judo in schools and clubs each week.
Judo training is an ideal form of physical exercise and it serves as a great cardiovascular workout, which improves stamina, strength, suppleness, speed and overall fitness levels as well as confidence. Judo is the ideal activity whatever your shape and size, and whether you are young or old.​​

Judo is for all ages and abilities
You can start judo at Senshuken Judo Academy from the age of 5 and upwards, although at the Coaches discretion we will consider 4 year olds depending on each individual child.

We aim to create a supportive environment where children and adults of all ages and abilities can train and develop together. There is always a lot going on within the local judo community, whether you are interested in competing in championships, keeping fit or just attending and training with us for the social aspect, we are sure there will be something for you.
