Judo

Student Club

We are a friendly, social club that welcomes judokas of all skill levels, from novices to Commonwealth Games athletes. Our club hosts various social events, allowing members to connect both on and off the mat.

Our coach, Fitzroy Davies, 6th Dan, has a distinguished background, having previously coached Olympian and World Champion Craig Fallon. His technical and competitive expertise helps every member reach their goals.

Annually, our club encourages members to participate in local and national competitions across the UK. We offer numerous opportunities for everyone to compete, traveling together to various events. Our experienced members have achieved success at BUCS, earning individual medals, while our lower-grade members have also excelled in their competitions.

Inclusion, Accessibility and Disability Practices

 

The Judo Club is committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where individuals of all backgrounds feel valued. Members are encouraged to communicate their needs openly, allowing for necessary training adjustments. For instance, the club accommodates flexible training schedules for those observing Ramadan and offers personalised adaptations to ensure everyone can train comfortably. The Inclusion Officer actively engages with members to address concerns and improve accessibility.

Judo’s adaptability makes it a sport accessible to participants of varying abilities. Although the club currently lacks specific modifications for physical disabilities, efforts are made to accommodate all members through wheelchair-accessible facilities and an open dialogue about individual needs. As the club grows, it remains dedicated to improving accessibility and promoting a welcoming atmosphere.
