The Parks judo club

From Beginners to Champions: Nurturing Talent and Achieving Excellence Since 1998

The club was founded in 1998 by head coach Duncan Stewart and caters for all ages and abilities from the recreational (keep fit) judo player to the competitive player.

Over the years the club has received many accolades having had players represent both the club and their country at all levels such a European Championships, Junior Olympics, National Championships to name a few, over the years the club has toured Europe competing at high level and bringing home medals on a regular basis.

Although these successes are great we also have a thriving junior section with our “Panthers” and “Judo Tots” sections busy on a weekly basis.
