Getting Started page
Welcome to the Southampton University Judo Club website. You can find information here about what judo involves, when we train and how to join the club. If you are interested in trying judo, just come on down to one of our Thursday beginners sessions; or if you have questions drop us an email or check out the Facebook page.
This year we have a great deal for beginners thanks to a promotion run by British Judo. Come along and see us at the bunfight to find out how you can save £70 on your beginners membership package.
The club is affiliated to the British Judo Association with training sessions run by BJA coaches. This site has information about judo as a sport and martial art, when our training sessions take place, and how to go about joining the club. Take a look around and drop us a line or come along to a training session if you want to know more.
Our training sessions accomodate those interested in judo for many reasons; such as a fun way to gain fitness, physical awareness and coordination, or as a competitive martial art.
For those with an interest in the competitive aspects of judo, the club has a good record of success in University championships over many years and also attends the annual student team tournament organised by the University of Sheffield.
With the changes to the grading syllabus we will be encouraging members to attend more local competitions to build experience and we are also aiming to support greater interaction with other university judo clubs.
Please look around the site to find out more about judo and the club. We encourage anyone interested in judo to come along and visit a training session so that you can see a class for yourself. If you have any questions that are not answered in these pages you can email us at judo@soton.ac.uk
