ABOUT OUR CLUB
We are a small, friendly club where we practice in a non-competitive way, focusing on body movement, contact between partners and correct technique.
​
Most important of all is the emphasis on looking after our partner and making sure they don't get injured.
​
By learning how to throw and be thrown we also learn how to protect ourselves and, hopefully, progress through the grades from beginner to black belt.
​
All gradings are done at national courses throughout the year under the guidance of Nationally and Internationally recognised instructors from a wide range of countries.
