Recreation

No matter what you're ability we all are here to learn Judo.  Beginning your journey into your Martial Art can be done at your own pace in a fun, supportive environment with no expectations!

Competition

We are one of the top clubs in Ireland.  We compete within the North & South of Ireland, GB and beyond.  We provide full competitive pathway opportunities for all Judoka.

Self Development

Judo provides never ending opportunity for self-development.  The challenge is always to try to improve your knowledge of a martial art and oneself.  Study of technical syllabus to achieve your grades, pursuit of technical improvements on the tatami and the maturing of the mind through time served is part of the Judo journey.

We are all in this together!  Whether you are a player, coach or a parent it doesn't matter!  There is many experiences in this journey on the tatami and socially.  Throughout the year there is plenty of opportunities to make relationships and friends for life!
