MEET OUR PLAYERS

Kano Club (Under 8s)

At our Kano Club we have children aged from 5-8 years working through the Junior Syllabus. This consists of monthly achievement stickers for their Judo diary and awarding badges as they improve their Judo skills according to the Junior grading scheme. Our aim is for young children to enjoy learning Judo whilst having fun, and that means games too!

Juniors (8 to 16 years)

Our Junior mat includes up and coming Kano’s. We have a mixed range of graded players from novice to brown belt. All beginners complete a 3 week course before joining the main group.

Children are taught skills depending on their grade and ability, and are encouraged to take gradings and enter appropriate competitions that are on offer. Gradings take place in club for up to 18th mon (yellow+3) and we have club competitions two or three times a year.

The emphasis is about learning and having fun but with the discipline that the sport has. We also have events like “Bring your parents to Judo” evenings, sponsored throw events,and tobogganing evening to mention a few.

Seniors (ages 16+)

Our senior mat consists of Novice to Dan grades and up and coming juniors, getting ready for the move to seniors. The sessions include theory and technique and competitive skills training and we can cater for most training needs. We pride ourselves in being a friendly club, new members are always welcome.
