Felixstowe Judo Club

Felixstowe judo club was formed at the old Deben High school during September 2008 by David Martin. With the aim to extend access and participation in Judo to the local Felixstowe community, currently there is no other club within a 15 miles radius. The club dojo is now located in the sports hall at Felixstowe Academy, a 12m x 11m training area, has EJU standard competition (blue & yellow) mats. The official opening of the new dojo in August 2014 was supported by Clacton and Comberton judo clubs and local school clubs.

Judo is an ideal sport for all age groups, males and females of varying sizes and abilities. Confidence and self-esteem are improved as a player progresses through the ranks and the very nature of the grading system ensures that the next goal is always realistic and achievable with effort. Judo training is an ideal form of physical exercise and serves as a cardiovascular workout, which improves stamina, general health and overall fitness.
