Returning to Judo? Want to try a new sport? Need to get fit, or meet a good bunch of people in a friendly environment?
We are Canterbury Judokwai, where new members are always welcome. If you’ve never been on a tatami (that’s the mat we use), it’s a great sport which you can learn a little about on our website, and then hopefully join us for a session — your first one is free. If you would like to take a look before trying, you are welcome to come and just watch.
Where are we?
We meet at:
Prince of Wales Youth Club
23 Military Road
Canterbury
CT1 1YX
There are parking spaces in front of and behind the building.
When do we train?
We train on Wednesdays:
Juniors
| 5–16 years | 6.15pm–7.15pm |
Please see this page with important information about attending our junior sessions.
Seniors (16+)
| Beginners* | 7.30pm–8.00pm |
| All abilities | 8.00pm–9.30pm |
(*) If you’re new to Judo, this is a great opportunity to cover some of the basics, and then stay on for the main senior session.
How much does it cost?
Each session costs:
Junior players: £4
Senior players: £5
We think this is great value, and are sure you’ll agree once you’ve given it a try!
To save time, we ask regular members to pay by direct debit — please see the link on the Members page. It’s also possible to make one-off payments online via paypal or bank transfer — we’ll give you the details on the day.
How do you start?
We have some spare judo suits (judogi) you might be able to borrow, but please wear loose clothing, e.g. a tracksuit and t-shirt. Eventually you will have to buy your own judogi and a BJA licence (see this page for membership offers).
Take a look at our website, and please get in touch if you want more information. We’re happy to help.
