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 50 members, male and female, with ages of active players ranging from 5 to 55. We cater for all levels and interests.

Over the years Harlow has produced over 50 black belts and many players who have represented Britain at international events. Last year Harlow's players took 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. We have also formed school to dojo links with many of the local schools.

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.

What is Judo?

If you want to be part of a sport that everyone can do no matter what shape or size, where you can help yourself get fit, active and improve every aspect of your life then judo is for you! 

Each lesson is an all over workout and includes exercises that improve cardio vascular, endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility and co-ordination. You will also find that lessons learnt on the mat help you off the mat including increased self-confidence. Judo lays great emphasis on discipline and expects those taking part to show respect for themselves and others.

Judo is a Japanese martial art that uses an opponent’s own force and momentum against them; Judo involves no kicking or punching, the aim is to mentally and physically outwit your opponent using skillful throwing and grappling techniques. Since its inclusion in the 1964 Olympic Games, judo has progressed rapidly and is now the world’s most popular combat sport.
