Judo

The Judo (The Gentle Art) at the Tokei was formed in 1973 and is registered under the British Judo Association and all our instructors are qualified under that organisation. We cater for all levels of ability and if you don't have your own Judo GI, we will provide you with one to get you started. We will teach you the basics of the art and help you to get through your grades and if you are competitive, you will be able to compete for the club. We have a great social side that occasionally organises trips away. If you are looking for a warm and friendly Judo club then this is the place for you. Judo is based around the skills of throwing and holding your opponent. Within the Senior Syllabus there is also Armlocks and Strangles permitted. Our class also aids in balance, self control and focus of the mind and body.
