Graeme has been training at the Welwyn Garden City judo club for 20 years and has been running the senior section for the past 8 years. Graeme has won many titles some of which include:
Graeme has been twice to Japan firstly in 1990 and secondly in 1999 where he trained at the Kanagawa Budokan. Even he does occasionally get thrown.
Andy has been training at the Welwyn Garden City Judo Club since the early eighties and is still an active competitor on the veteran circuit taking 5th place in the 1999 National Veterans Competition and third place in the 2000 National Veterans Competition.
Andy has been running the junior section for many years now.
Both our instructors are level 2 Judo coaches and have taught Judo for many years to a wide range of people and can, and will, work with anyone who shows an interest in learning Judo and take them to whatever level their ability allows them to attain.
Some people practice Judo because they want to win medals and they get satisfaction from competing, others like to practice just for the fitness aspect. Some older judoka like a more formal study of Judo known as kata, this is a study of Judo techniques through a set pattern of movements this is a great skill building exercise and reduces the risk of injury. Whatever your personal goal we can help you achieve it.
All persons who practice Judo should have a current British Judo Association licence, this licence is your insurance policy and protects you should you have an injury or cause an injury and allows the club to function.

It must be remembered that Judo is a hard combat sport and injuries do happen, having said that they are not common so do not be put off!
WGC Judo is a member club of the British Judo Association and as such practices according to its rules and regulations.
