Benefits of judo
Judo gives children much more than the ability to throw and grapple. Through training, they develop physical skills, confidence and self-discipline while learning how to work with others, handle challenges and keep improving. These benefits develop naturally through the way judo is taught, practised and enjoyed.
Children learn to try new things, deal with challenges and recognise their own progress. Each small achievement helps build confidence on and off the mat.
Judo develops strength, balance, coordination, agility and fitness through movement, games and practical training. Children get fitter without feeling like they are doing a fitness session.
Children learn to listen, concentrate, follow instructions and stay focused on a task. They also learn that progress comes from regular practice and effort.
Judo teaches children how to move safely, fall correctly and control an opponent using technique rather than strength. These skills develop awareness, coordination and physical confidence.
Judo is a partner sport, so children learn and train with others from their first session. Friendships develop naturally as they practise, learn and progress together.
Children learn how to work with different people, communicate, take turns and show respect. They develop these skills through everyday interaction with their coaches and training partners.
More than A Sport
Judo gives children a place to learn, challenge themselves and grow. They learn to work with others, cope with setbacks and take pride in their progress, while developing skills that extend well beyond the dojo.
Whether they are working towards their next belt, discovering competition or simply enjoying being active with their friends, every child has their own journey. Our role is to help them enjoy it, make progress and become more confident along the way.
Our expert coaching team
Led by Head Coach Luke Brown (5th Dan, former Great Britain international and UKCC Level 4 qualified), our coaching team combines extensive judo experience with a genuine understanding of children and young people. Luke was awarded the Postgraduate Diploma Prize in Advanced Sports Coaching as well as regional coaching awards.
What matters most to us, however, is understanding the individual child. Every member arrives with their own personality, experience and starting point. Some may be shy and looking to build confidence, others full of energy and needing focus, while some simply want to learn judo, make friends and have fun. Our coaches take the time to understand each child and help them progress through clear coaching, encouragement and achievable challenges.

A great place to train
We want children to enjoy coming to judo, and that starts with having a welcoming place to train. Our facilities at Lowton Community Hub give families everything they need before, during and after a session, with dedicated training spaces and comfortable areas for parents and children.

Agnieszka Conradie2020-02-12My son & I, we train at the Judo Club for 1 year now. Friendly & safe environment. Luke is a knowledgeable & an outstanding coach. My son is learning respect & discipline, while he is having a lot of fun at the same time. The perseverance, love & joy of learning is reflected in the children taking part in training. All judo team (Luke, Tom, Vicki & Rob) are professional coaches & they have a great ability to bring out the best in children of all levels & abilities. They interact well with children of all ages. I appreciated the focus on skill, but even more so on character - kindness & sportsmanship. Every training is a very positive experience for me & my son. I would encourage anyone, regardless of age or physical ability to give it a try, & I can think of no better group of people to pursue this Judo Club in Lowton. Thank you Aga & Brad.
Paul Jervis2019-08-30My daughter has been here nearly 5 years now and still absolutely loves it. She has made life-long friends and it has also made made her quietly confident, given her manners and respect. Luke takes no messing around be it from the kids or the adults and as such you can see the kids develop into young adults with great values. This is not only a judo club. It is an extended family where everybody knows everybody and welcomes new people with open arms There is also activities outside of judo for the kids and adults. Camping. Cinema bowling trampolining and lots more. come along. You won't be disappointed.
