SallyParent

Ever since my child started learning judo with Graham, I’ve seen a real growth in both his confidence and ability. Graham’s calm, encouraging, and fun teaching style has made a huge difference, helping my son develop not only his judo skills but also important life skills.

EmmaParent

Graham balances fun and discipline perfectly and Advik looks forward to every class. His confidence has grown so much since starting judo. Thanks to Graham’s calm, supportive teaching skills. We’re grateful for the positive impact Graham has had on him.

Mrs KulkarniParent

I have been taking Graham's judo classes for 8 years. Graham is an engaging, friendly and brilliant judo instructor, making every class worthwhile and fun. Judo has helped me grow my self-confidence and discipline and I have made several friends there over the years. I have really enjoyed my time with Dragon Judo Club.

MichaelStudent

My three girls have been with the club since they were age 4 and have loved every session with Graham and the team. He is kind and gentle, teaching the philosophy of judo but always in a fun and engaging way. It has given my girls tons of confidence in their physical ability. I highly recommend Dragon Judo Club.

How much are classes and how do I pay?

Family Discount: We are proud to offer a 10% discount for your second child, and a 20% discount for a third child.
Come & watch: Prospective members are welcome to visit and watch a session for free before taking part.

What should my child wear for their first class before they’ve decided to commit and buy a judo suit

For their first few sessions, there is no need to buy a formal uniform (Gi).

Beginners: Please wear a tracksuit or a loose, long-sleeved top and loose-fitting trousers.
Safety: Avoid any clothing with hoods, zips, or metal buttons that could cause injury or damage the mats.
Footwear: No special shoes are needed as judo is practiced barefoot on the mats.
Formal Kit: Once they decide to join regularly, official judo suits are available to purchase directly from the club. Talk to Sense Graham about sizes and fit.

Do you offer a free trial class?

We invite your child to come and watch a session at no cost. If they feel inspired to hop on the mat and join in, you can simply pay as you go. This gives you the flexibility to take it week by week instead of committing to a full term like many other clubs.

My child is outside the typical size / experience level for their age group. Which class will they be put in?

Our age groups are just a starting point. We’ll place your child in the class that best fits their size, strength, and ability to ensure they are comfortable and challenged.

Are you fully insured and DBS checked?

Yes. I am fully insured, DBS checked and hold a BJA teaching license. I am also fully qualified in first aid, child welfare, and can grade both children and adults.
