Saturday Classes have Expanded

The Saturday Judo classes have proven popular. To cater fir the growth in students, we have split the 90 minute adult class into two 60 minute classes. You can now attend either the technique class at 9am, the Randori competition class at 10am or both. The children’s class has also been expanded to a full 90 minute class. The new Saturday class timetable starts 2nd April 2011.
