Who Are We?
Harlow Judo Club recently celebrated its 30th birthday and is growing stronger all the time. We are a diverse club with around 70 members, male and female, with ages of active players ranging from 5 to 55. We cater for all levels and interests.
Harlow Judo Club is a member club of the Britsh Judo Association and is Sport England Clubmark accredited. We have also formed School 2 Dojo links with many of the local schools.
Over the years Harlow has produced many black belts and players who have represented Britain at international events. The club has a history of winning medals at the British Junior, Schools, Special Needs and Masters Championships. Amongst our less or non-competitive, we encourage players to gain qualifications in refereeing, competition officiating and coaching.
Many of our members start as young children and are still with us as they become veterans, often with their own children following in their footsteps. We also have families doing judo, both parents and children. There is a great camaraderie at the club which has created many strong friendships.
The club's coaching staff is extremely experienced and has expertise in many fields of coaching. Our Head coach has over 30 years coaching experience and other coaches include two former Great Britain Internationals and a qualified referee. All coaches are Dan grades, CRB checked, hold HSE First Aid Certificates and attend Child Protection & Long Term Development courses.
Our fees are low and the club is entirely non-profit making and all income goes towards covering costs. If you would like to start judo, you need just a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms, we will lend you a jacket and belt. Beginners are always coached separately and carefully looked after. Alternatively, if you have done judo before, we will give you a gentle restart at your own pace and visitors from other judo clubs are welcome.
