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 6th 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.
