Taster Session

If you are interested in get started with us and would like a free taster session to see if you like it.

At our Stafford Judo Club we offer free taster sessions for you and your family to decide if judo is for you. It is an opportunity for everyone to ‘have-a-go’ and get a feel of the sport. You don’t need any special equipment, just wear comfortable, stretchy clothing and explore an amazing new way of moving and even thinking.

Get in touch, come on down to give it a try!

Also, don’t worry about your Judogi as we have spares for you to use during your first session which you can also borrow until you get your own Judogi if you decide to continue with us.

During Your Taster

When you come for your first free taster session there are terms used by the coaches that you will hear during the sessions.

So it’s good to know what these are:

Rei – bow (At the beginning and the end of the sessions we line up in grade order and bow to the Coaches)

Then during the session, these next two words will be used to start and end all training activities ready for the next part of the session.

Hajime – begin
Matte – stop

Hajime and Matte you will hear a lot in your first session so these two words you will pick up very quickly and easily.

Then if you enjoy your taster session have a chat with the club coaches about what to do next..
