Courses/Classes for Beginners
The club conducts "Preparation" and "Introductory" courses for new judo players so that they can enjoy learning and practising judo at a novice and introductory level so that they can optimise their development and advance to an intermediate level.
The club will host the following courses for player members on a needs basis. From time to time, the club may combine classes from two or more courses so that classes are viable and that continuity of learning is maintained for the judo player.
