Welcome to Judo Excellence , we really hope your child enjoyed their judo class.  Judo Excellence has been running for over 20 years and has taught 1000's of students, who have enjoyed judo for many different reasons some for recreation, to meet friends, to get fitter or just for fun, some to aim for the Black Belt, some to compete locally, national and some internationally.  Whatever the reason we aim to provide the best experience we possibly can.

3. What about the belts/ gradings

We aim for 3 or 4 gradings per year and they take place during the lessons, this involves the students demonstrating techniques and skills they have learned to the standard required.  Students under 8 progress through SHO grades (a belt with a stripe through the centre) and over 8's progress through mon & kyu grades (full coloured belts).

Everybody who takes part in judo are required to join the British Judo Association, this is the main governing body for judo.  This costs £20 per year, this includes the students insurance, official British grades, access to competitions, a membership pack and a quarterly magazine.  British Judo are doing a free introductory membership so its free for the first 3 months. We will send you details about this once you've completed the sign up form.
