Ready for a new challenge in 2026?
If you’re thinking about getting fitter, learning a new skill, and actually enjoying the process, our Adult Beginner Judo Course could be exactly what you’re looking for.
This course has been specifically designed for adults who are new to judo — including those who have never tried a martial art before. Whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, 60s or beyond, you’ll find a welcoming, pressure-free environment where you can learn at your own pace.
Starting something new as an adult can feel daunting, especially if you’re worried about fitness levels or keeping up. That’s why this course is built around progressive learning, safety, and confidence-building.
You’ll be guided step by step through the fundamentals of judo, including:
Safe falling techniques (ukemi)
Basic throwing skills
Holding and control techniques
Balance, coordination, and movement
Everything is taught in a structured, beginner-friendly way, so you can take your time and develop confidence week by week.
One of the most common things we hear is:
“I wish I’d started earlier — am I too old now?”
The answer is no.
This Adult Beginner Judo Course is open to adults of all ages and abilities. You don’t need to be fit, flexible, or strong to begin. You’ll work within your own limits, learning safely and gradually improving your strength, mobility, and coordination as the course progresses.
Judo is about technique, balance, and timing — not brute force — making it ideal for adults looking for a sustainable, long-term activity.
Learning judo should be challenging and enjoyable. Our sessions are relaxed, welcoming, and supportive, with a strong emphasis on mutual respect and encouragement.
Many people choose to:
Join with a friend or partner
Meet new people and train together
Enjoy the social side of learning something new
You’ll train alongside other beginners who are starting from the same place as you.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel stronger, move better, and have gained a practical skill — all while having a laugh along the way.
Spaces on the course are limited to ensure quality coaching and a positive learning experience.

Make 2026 the year you finally step onto the mat and try something new.
No experience is needed at all. This course is specifically designed for complete beginners. Everything is taught from the ground up in a safe, supportive way.
Not at all. The course is open to adults of all ages. Many people start judo later in life and find it’s a great way to stay active, improve mobility, and learn something new at their own pace.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of judo, including:
How to fall safely
Basic throwing techniques
Holding and control techniques
Balance, movement, and coordination
All techniques are introduced gradually and practised safely.

Absolutely. Many people join with a friend or partner. Training together can make starting something new even more enjoyable.
