What kit do I need to buy before I start?
You will need to buy a Judogi eventually, but for your first visit, simply wear some loose fitting trousers, such as tracksuit trousers.
For young children a karate suit is adequate, but for grown up children and adults a judogi is mandatory.
Will Judo make me stronger?
Judo is focused on technique rather than strength, however the physical training will make you feel stronger and physically fit.
Am I going to be hit or kicked?
Judo is not a sport where we hit our opponent.
Do I need to be fit to start Judo?
The sessions and instructions are tailored with the individual's fitness in mind. By time you will get fitter the more you practice.
Can Judo be used as self defense?
Judo teaches you effective throws, holds, strangles and armlocks. All of which can be applied in “real” fights.
The real strength of judo in a self defence aspect is the live training. You train in a way where you are trying to physically overcome people who are trying to do the same to you. The coordination and spatial awareness judo players develop in their sport is both acute and applicable to self defense.
Every session will include this sort of training.
