Yokoso (Welcome!)...
Patchway Judo club
prides itself on being a family club.
The club provides
the opportunity for young people and adults to make new friends
and keep active in a fun and safe environment. Best of all,
family & friends of judo players are welcome to take part
in all of the club activities & events.
The club was only
the second in the whole of the South West to achieve Silver
Clubmark award.
One of the secrets
of our success is that the coaches have come through the club
as players over the years; all are volunteers. The club is run by amazing volunteers, many of who have won local and national awards for volunteering! Volunteering is encouraged throughout the club.
Our club aim is to help young people
& adults to learn judo, build self confidence, self esteem
& improve co-ordination and ultimately be the "best
they can be".
The club started in 1967 two years after its home, youth centre was opened in 1965. Our 50th Anniversary is fast approaching - watch this space for details of 2017 celebrations!
Patchway Judo club
is committed to helping children and adults reach their full potential,
whether they are competitive or recreational players, whatever
their ability; ultimately, to become happy confident
people!
Professor Jigoro Kano,
the founder of Judo said, "Judo is a teaching
for life itself and with it we learn to overcome the pitfalls
and obstacles of everyday living" and his words
still ring true. A man of great vision, Kano summed up Judo
by saying "it is the way to most efficiently use
one's mental and physical strength. By training, one should
discipline and cultivate the body and spirit through the practice
of techniques of offence and defence, thereby to master the
essence of Judo. And, by these means, it is the ultimate goal
of Judo to build oneself up to perfection and thereby benefit
the world."

First steps to coaching course
Saturday 25 May Toddy (club vice chair and coach) took some of our junior players to Kingsley school to attend "First steps to coaching" course.
Combination of class room learning as well as practical on the mat training.
There has been a long tradition at the club of more experienced players helping out on sessions, great they have been able to go on a course to support that.
Well done to all of them, here's to our coaches of the future;
Alfie, Holly, Izzy, Mack, Patrick, Stan and Vincent (New Star)
