Adult Beginners' Course - January 31st 2012

The Olympic year is upon us and now you can experience one of the Olympic Games’ most fascinating sports alongside fellow newcomers as British Judo’s Adult Beginners Course (ABC) returns for 2012 in January and February.

ABC at Kendal Judo Club, The DOJO, Parkside Business Park, Parkside Road, Kendal offers you the opportunity to have a fun-fuelled, new experience while you receive expert tuition and become familiar with judo’s highly-motivating and rewarding non-competitive grading scheme.

You’ll see your fitness levels, balance, coordination and flexibility develop in a no-pressure environment.

British Judo’s motto is ‘Judo for All’ as the sport can be practiced by all ages and official weight categories for senior judo players (known as judoka) who choose to enter competitions goes from -48kg to +78kg for women and -60kg to +100kg for men.

The sport, which emanates from Japan, is steeped in tradition and promotes values such as honour and respect with participants bowing to show respect to everyone on the mat.

No prior experience of judo or any sport is required; you can bring a family member, a friend or make new ones along the way as you practice the sport over the 10-week course and acquire all the skills to complete your first grading (red belt) at its conclusion – your first step on the ladder towards the coveted black belt!

For the course fee of just £60 you will receive 10 weeks judo tuition from a fully qualified, experienced International Judo Coach, a British Judo Association adult licence which covers your insurance, a judo suit and the opportunity to take your first grading.
