Coventry Judo Club, located in Coventry, is more than just a martial arts school or gym – it is a tight-knit family. The club takes pride in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals of all ages and skill levels, from children to adults, beginners to experienced competitors.
Judo, meaning “gentle way,” is a modern Japanese martial art that has evolved into a combat and Olympic sport. It not only relies on the physical abilities and techniques of an individual but also emphasises a strong mindset and adherence to core values.
