Welcome to Dudley Judo Club

We aim to provide you with a fun and interesting experience here at Dudley Judo Club.

If you do not have any previous martial arts experience, please allow us to give you a few bits of important information.

To start with, we want to make sure that Judo is for you.  Therefore, your first 4 weeks of training you will not be required to register with the British Judo Association or purchase any specific kit. 

Initial 4 weeks we recommend the following:-

• Bring a drink to keep you hydrated. (Not fizzy drinks).
• Bring a towel as the sessions will be physical and you will likely become sweaty!
• Wear track suit bottoms (no zips) initially the club will provide a GI Jacket and belt.
• NO FOOTWEAR is allowed on the training mats. Training is conducted in socks or bare footed to keep the matting clean. ( the Mat is disinfected at the end of each session).
• After 4 weeks you will need to register with the British Judo Association if you wish to continue training.  Membership is compulsory as this allows you to grade, compete and most importantly be insured for training. 
• In addition after 4 weeks we expect you to have purchased a GI (Judo Suit) we can help and recommend suppliers for this.

We are here every step of the way to support your transition into Judo to make it a super enjoyable experience.
