As soon as you'll have it you will officially become a member of our Club!

They are 30£ a term for the first two terms and 15£ for the last term. That's less than a pound per session! If you are a complete beginner ( white belt ) you can get the Atumn Mat Fees ( 1st term ) for just 20£ !

As we are an University Judo Club we are part of the Student Voucher Scheme<http://www.britishjudo.org.uk/svs>: for only 20£ you will get the membership but also a brand new judogi and your first grading for free. A normal Student Membership would cost you 27£ so even if you don't need a new judogi you are better off going for the 20£ offer! All info on how to apply for the Student Voucher Scheme is in the email 'Student Voucher Scheme - Imperial College Judo Club'. If you haven't received it let us now :) ... That's it!

Imperial College Judo Club - Welcome!
by Judo, Judo 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hello All! Firstly, a huge welcome to everyone joining us this year! It was a pleasure to meet you all at Freshers' Fair today. Hopefully you are all excited to throw yourselves into Judo and we are sure you will enjoy it as much as we do ( i.e. a LOT! ) If you are instead coming back for another year of fun and training ... welcome back ! This year will be even more exciting and rich in opportunities ! Here is a list of practicalities for the beginning of term. If you have any other question don't hesitate to ask. Training Sessions: We run three training sessions per week: Wednesday - 12:00 to 2:00 pm Thursday - 5:30 pm to 7 pm Friday - 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm All our sessions are held in the Union Gym, Level 3 of the Imperial College Union Building. Generally all Thursday sessions are specifically catered towards beginners but feel free to come to as many sessions as you can / want! IMPORTANT: There will be no session this Friday (9th) as the Union is closed for the Fresher's Ball. First Session: Our first Taster Session is TOMORROW ( Wednesday 7th ) from 12:00 to 2:00 pm. Try to be there a bit earlier so that you can get changed in time. Please bring comfortable sports clothing that does not restrict your range of movement. Some tracksuit trousers and an old tshirt you don't mind getting stretched would be just fine. We do have a selection of judogis ( Judo uniforms ) that you can borrow but they will be on a first come first served basis. In tomorrow's session we will focus on teaching you the basics, giving you a gentle introduction to Judo ( literally meaning the 'gentle way' ). You will learn how to fall ( first step in learning how to throw others ) and progress on some basic ground and standing techniques. If you are already a seasoned judoka don't worry though ! The session will be perfect to get you back in the swing of things and there will be plenty of other higher graded members to train with :) If you cannot be there tomorrow just come along any other of our sessions. There will always be someone there to help you! Where is the Union Gym? If it's your first time here at Imperial here is a short visual guide on how to reach the Union Gym, where we always train. Address: Imperial College Union Level 3 Beit Quadrangle Prince Consort Rd Kensington, London SW7 2BB This is the main entrance to the Beit Quadrangle, viewed from Prince Consort Road: [cid:9645bfe4-a172-46a9-86ba-aa068735b2f3] Once you have entered just cross the inner square and go to Level 3 ( the last floor ) of the building in front of you ( Union Building). The gym will be right there: [cid:1034e5ec-354e-4103-9af2-01c3c8186f83] If you were here at Freshers' Fair this is simply the last floor of the building where our stall was. Membership and fees: We are one of the cheapest Martial Art Clubs here at Imperial. If you are already 100% sure that you want to join the Club you can already get our membership and mat fees from our Shop<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/014> ( https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/activities/a-to-z/014 ) If not don't worry! This week and next week's sessions will all be completely free! Just come along to any of them and give Judo a go! We'll help you sort everything out if you need help :) Social Media: We have a fairly active Facebook group where most of the more informal and spontaneous organisation happens. This includes updates on socials, competitions, training times, judo videos and much more ! https://www.facebook.com/groups/161492510549009/ We also have Twitter (@Imperial_Judo) and Youtube (IC Judo) accounts [ all links are in the footer banner ] All important information will be sent over this mailing list.
