You are welcome to try a session of judo for free, before deciding if it’s for you.

We suggest that you come along on a Monday evening to either the Focus Centre, Galashiels or Jedburgh Community Campus/ High School at one of the times listed on our contacts page.  A jacket (Judogi) and belt will be available for beginners.  Please drop us a line using our contacts page to let us know that you are interested in trying Judo with us.  This will allow us to answer any questions that you might have and also make sure that you are properly introduced to Judo and our Club on Monday night.

For the first few classes, we will introduce you to the many aspects of Judo, which include the philosophy behind Judo, break-falling safely (Ukemi), Throws (nage-waza) and holds (ne-waza).

All judokas (participants) who join the club must become members of Judo Scotland for insurance and to participate in gradings or competitions.  Once registered, you will receive a license book and red belt.
