Why learn Judo with Ryecroft
For kids, judo would be a good choice as its a safe and fun activity that builds fitness and self-confidence.Judo training has many forms for different interests. Some students train for competition by sparring and entering the many tournaments available. Others study the traditional art form at a more recreational pace. For some, self defence, fun and fitness are the main goals.Black belts are expected to learn all of these aspects of Judo.At Ryecroft Judo Club we support all students in helping achieve whatever their personal goal is. The club has helped well over 100 people reach the coveted award of black belt, with our highest graded member being IJF 8th Dan.Many judo techniques can also be employed as a means of self-defence. In addition to learning how to use these techniques, the environment they are taught in provide a level of confidence and assurance to deal with many threatening situations.
