Find Judo lessons near me in Coventry

Judo means "the gentle way", and its basics all revolve around using your partner's force rather than your own strength.

• Breakfalls come first, so you can be thrown hundreds of times without getting hurt.
• Grip fighting decides who can attack first, so a strong, relaxed grip matters from day one.
• Throws (nage-waza) only work once you have pulled or pushed your partner off balance.
• Ne-waza is the ground phase, where you control your partner with pins and escapes.

With one-to-one lessons, you master breakfalls and throws safely before sparring in randori.

For most students, the road to black belt spans several years and a series of coloured belts.

• The coloured belts mark each stage of progress, from novice to brown belt.
• Regular attendance speeds up progress because techniques become automatic with repetition.
• Each grading checks that you can perform the required throws and hold-downs cleanly.
• Black belt (Shodan) marks mastery of the fundamentals rather than the end of learning.

One-to-one coaching targets your weak techniques so you are ready on grading day.
