JUDO

Judo is based on various traditional Japanese martial arts.  It is a full contact grappling sport where the aim is to off balance an opponent so that you can efficiently throw them to the ground with skill and control, and once grounded control them by pinning them to the ground.  Older children and adults are also taught how to gain their opponents' submission through applying arm locks or chokes.  Judo is an Olympic and Paralympic sport governed in this country by the British Judo Association (BJA).  Judo is suitable for children 5 years old and upwards, and adults up to any age.  Judo tournaments are held regularly throughout the year catering for different abilities in different weight divisions and age bands including veterans age categories, as well as having tournaments for visually impaired players, and adaptive judo pathway for players with different physical or cognitive needs.
