Sessions are inexpensive at £2.50 for the juniors and £3 for the seniors.Just turn up on the night!! Adult beginners are especially welcome to learn Judo and there is no finer sport for building up fitness, strength and confidence.

The juniors start practice at 7 in the evening and finish at 8.Seniors are from 8 till 9.Nobody is pushed too hard (except Dan Grades) and most people enjoy the fun.
