FAQ
Questions people usually ask before stepping on the mat.
Can complete beginners join? +
Yes. Beginners are welcome. You will be introduced to the basics safely and progressively.
Do I need my own gi straight away? +
Not usually. Contact the club before your first session and we can let you know what to bring and whether loan kit is available.
Is the club suitable for adults returning after years away? +
Absolutely. Many adults come back to judo after a long break. The aim is to rebuild skill and confidence, not recreate 1998 in one night.
What should I bring to my first class? +
Bring comfortable training clothes, water, and a willingness to learn. Leave giant belt-tying confidence at the door if needed; that part comes later.
