Chalfont & Evreham Judokwai welcome children from eight years and upwards and for the senior sessions from sixteen and upwards (if you are fourteen or above and 3rd Kyu (Green) or above you are also welcome at the senior sessions).  We regret that we are not able (for reasons of insurance) to take children under eight.

If you, your son or daughter wishes to give Judo a try, the best thing to do is to come along to the club and join in a few sessions.  The first four sessions are without charge whilst you decide if this is the right thing for you.  All you need to do is to turn up in a loose fitting track suit bottom with a T-shirt.  Make sure that there is no metal anywhere (eg. jewellery, piercings, hair clips etc.) and that your nails finger and toe nails are short.  At this stage you do not need a Judogi (judo suit).

After your initial month you will need to get a Judogi and to pay the subscription fees.  As the Judo club is run on a voluntarily basis, the charges are very low compared to other similar activities and there are substantial discounts for siblings.  Further, membership of one of the below clubs entitles you to attend the other club whenever you wish.

A leaflet about the club can be found here.

Chalfont Judokwai

This club meets on Tuesdays from 6:45pm to 8:30pm.

The Chalfont Club is currently oversubscribed and we are now holding a waiting list.  It is our expectation that we will be able to take a few new members during mid-September.  If you wish to register your interest, please email david@chalfontjudokwai.org.uk with your name, address and telephone number along with your son/daughter's name and we will acknowledge your interest and place you on the waiting list.  We will let you know as soon as we have space.



Evreham Judokwai

This club meets on Fridays from 7:00pm to 8:00pm for juniors and 8:00pm to 9:20pm for seniors.

We are currently able to take new members in both the junior and senior sessions.

 

Grading Success


Club members who attended the 12th July grading all came away happy with every single member being graded. Particular note goes to Tom who with his third black stripe has now graded as far as he can until he turns senior and to Simone who has jumped from raw beginner to Orange one green stripe.

Congratulations to Shona


Who after considerable effort has now mastered Kata Gurama! This success paves her future development as she can now progress with her Kata to brown stripes and beyond.
