- The Dorking Judo Club has been established since 30 March 1984.
- Over the years more than 500 children have been introduced to judo through the Dorking Judo Club.
- The Dorking Judo Club has been involved in training;
- 1 British Schools' National Judo Champion.
- 6 National Kata Champions.
- 5 Judoka have started with the Dorking Judo Club and since gone on to become Dan Grades.
- Numerous Area medallists have been part of the Dorking Judo Club.
- The Dorking Judo Club has always aimed to give good judo tuition at a cost
within the reach of all families. For this reason the Instructors give their time and tuition for FREE , with
minimul travel expenses paid to instructors.
Without the help of donations from Friends' Provident and a Surrey Area Youth Council Grant, we would not be
able to afford even the hire of the Hall without a vast increase in our fees to members.
- There are usually 9 sessions each week. See main page for times and details for both our venues.
- The instructors are responsible for organising the laying out and putting away of the mats
before and after the sessions - which adds approximately 25 minutes to the end of the evenings' judo.
- To become an intructor, they will have had to, in their own time and expense;
- Reach Blue Belt (for Preliminary Club Coach); Brown Belt (for Club coach): Dan Grade (for Senior Club Coach).
- Attend a British Judo Association Course covering approximately 10 weeks specialized tuition.
- Submit a personally written Course of Tuition for scrutiny by the BJA Examiners.
- Give a lesson in front of BJA Examiners and demonstrate techniques from the Gokyo (a list of recognized judo techniques).
- Become a Public First Aider / pass a written first aid test.
- Demonstate knowledge of Judo Refereeing / pass a written refereeing paper.
- In order to keep up high standards of safety and tuition and maintain validation of the above qualification, the instructor has
to attend further courses on a regular basis (further personal time and expense!).
- Newsletters and information bulletins and all other administration is carried out in instructors' free time.
- We hope you will continue to enjoy Judo and would be pleased to have any further help or suggestions you can make to
continue the;
Excellent Value of the Dorking Judo Club.
