Welcome to Winchester Judo and Martial
Arts Club!
|
We
are a friendly club that offers practice in a number of Japanese
martial arts in a dedicated full time dojo.
The club has a long
tradition of producing very capable students of both Judo and
Aikido. In recent years we have also established another class
offering instruction in the Katori Shinto Ryu school of
classical swordsmanship.
With our dedicated Dojo we offer a wide range of classes for
both beginners and advanced students, young and old. Qualified
instructors bring a large amount of experience that makes the
sessions both fun and safe.
Please take the time to browse this site to get an idea of what
the club offers and feel free to contact us to arrange a time to
come along.

Our Dojo
We are lucky enough to have one of the few permanent dojos with dedicated facilities. Brand new mats provide a safe, clean environment to train in. The area is large enough to enable a normal sized class to practice with enough room to enable safe throws to be performed.
A permanent area of mats ensures that there is a safe area to train in, without having to put mats down before each session.
The 2nd part of the dojo consists of seats that enable the class to be comfortably observed without disruption. This is very useful for parents who might wish to watch their child training or potential beginners to
view a typical class.
Getting Started
The best and easiest way to start training is to just come
along and join in a session. We have enough experienced
people to ensure that you are in very safe hands and will
have a gentle introduction to which ever art you start.
You don't have to worry about buying equipment to begin
with, just wear loose fitting clothes such as a track suit.
If you decide to continue training the club will be able to
provide advice on buying a suit. Club members also sometimes
have 2nd hand suits available, especially for fast growing
children!
We also run dedicated beginners classes several times a
year.
The first class is always free so you don't have anything to
lose!
