About Judo

Judo is more than just a martial art – it’s a way of developing both body and mind. Founded in Japan, judo combines throws, holds, and ground techniques with a strong focus on respect, discipline, and personal growth. Every session builds fitness, confidence, and resilience, while teaching the importance of cooperation and self-control.

Judo isn’t just about learning how to fall or throw – it’s about building character, forming friendships, and challenging yourself in a safe and supportive environment.

Judo is for everyone

One of the greatest strengths of judo is that anyone can take part. Children, teenagers, adults, and seniors – judo adapts to every age and ability. Whether you’re looking for a fun activity for your kids, a new way to get fit, or a challenge to push yourself further, judo has something to offer.

• For children – judo develops coordination, confidence, and respect.

• For teens and adults – it’s a fantastic way to stay active, learn self-defence, and make friends.

• For all abilities – judo is an inclusive sport, practiced worldwide, and can be enjoyed at any level – from recreational sessions to international competition.

At Ryu Haku Shin Judo, we believe that judo truly is for everyone. Whoever you are, wherever you’re starting from – you’re welcome on the mat.
