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. |
