Id highly recommend the Judo Academy. Both my sons attend and my oldest has been there for 6 years - over that time I've seen his confidence grow year on year. Stephen and Anne-Marie and all the coaches provide a friendly, warm and safe environment while teaching skills for life as well as transferable skills - Ive seen my younger son do judo rolls on the football pitch lol while my older son has also been able to apply his skills to school rugby. A great club!

Such an amazing group of people to spend time with each week!! Joined myself as a novice after seeing how much enjoyment my 8 yr old son & 10 yr old daughter got out of their time on the mats and have never looked back. I’ve seen them grow in confidence throughout their time there and make some good friends along the way. The knowledgeable coaches teach in such a positive manner and always have time for myself and the kids. Couldn’t recommend this club enough.

Great club for all ages and fitness levels. All the coaches are great at understanding everyone's limitations but also push you to get the most out of yourself. As a parent of a 12 year-old on the mats and a participant myself, I can't recommend the Judo Academy enough! Keep us the excellent work.

The Judo Academy is a fantastic judo club for kids and adults. Both my son and I joined as novices and we are already progressing through the grades, under Stephen and Anne Marie's expert coaching.

As a parent I watched my sons train with the Judo Academy for 5 years, as an after schools and weekend activity. They loved it so much and were looked after so well by the team that I decided to have a go myself. Now five years on I wish I started earlier. My health and fitness has improved greatly and I have become friends with a great bunch of people. As a Judo player, not exactly in the prime of youth, I participate within my limits with no pressure and this makes every class enjoyable. Well done the Judo Academy.

My son Adam has been with this fantastic club for almost 12 years. Great club with brilliant coaches who only want the best for all the players. They devote a lot of time and energy to make sure everyone achieves their potential. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in enrolling their children in a marital art. We love you guys!

Enrolled my 7 year old hoping she would enjoy the exercise but expecting her to give it up after the first session. She is absolutely loving it, has made lots of new friends and is now going twice a week. The coaches are amazing, patient and full of praise for players. You will find a welcoming atmosphere and friendly participants. If you're looking for somewhere you can exercise, learn some serious self defense and have fun doing it then this is for you!
