The sensei

Become stronger with your sensei

In judo, your sensei is much more than a coach. He’s the one who teaches you how to master techniques, respect the values ​​of judo, and push yourself to the limit. Thanks to his experience and passion, he will show you how to progress, step by step, while having fun.

With your sensei, you’ll learn how to fall, get back up, attack, and defend yourself, but above all, never give up. He’ll be there to encourage you, correct you, and celebrate every small victory with you. On the mat, every piece of advice counts, and every training session brings you closer to the best version of yourself.

The Volunteers

volunteers to support you

In every judo club, there are people who, without seeking recognition, play an essential role. These are our volunteers. They dedicate their time, energy, and passion to keeping your dojo alive, supporting judokas like you, and ensuring that every training session runs smoothly. Whether it’s organizing events, mentoring younger judokas, or simply offering their help during competitions, their commitment is invaluable and immeasurable.

A club’s life wouldn’t be the same without the dedication of volunteers. They are everywhere! At registrations, during activities outside of training, in administrative boards, and many instructors (senseis) don’t even count the hours they give to their students!

The dojos

a space where the passion of judo comes to life

Your dojo is much more than just a training ground; it’s a true sanctuary of judo. From the moment you walk through the door, you enter a space where discipline, respect, and commitment combine to create a unique atmosphere. This is where you will learn to master techniques, progress, and take on new challenges.

Dojos are designed to allow you to give the best of yourself. The tatami, the symbol of judo, is a place where you can express yourself, refine your movements, and test your limits. The dojo walls bear witness to thousands of achievements, falls, and successes, and every corner of this space is imbued with the history of those who have walked it before you.

Invite a friend!

judo fun for 2!

The more judokas there are, the more fun we have!

At the dojo we often meet people who will become our friends but the opposite is also true. When we invite our friends to discover judo it allows us to perhaps have a new activity in common, to have even more fun practicing judo or simply to discover a side of ourselves that they did not even suspect! In any case, judo is made to be shared and therefore to try!
