About Us

Allow me to introduce the five resident instructors at the Aylwin Judo Club, who, as of October 2006, possess between them 155 years of high quality judo experience.

All have attained FPJ Judo coaching qualifications, have had Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks completed and hold first aid qualifications. In addition, Sensei Raymond has passed the NVQ Assessors Award.
No mention of grades or formal qualification mentioned above can describe the breadth and depth of experience held by these instructors. This coupled with their enormous enthusiasm for Judo makes for a winning combination.
Amongst our regular visiting instructors are two 5th Dans. We are also visited from time to time by people wishing to become instructors who teach under our guidance or maybe a 1st Kyu wishing to pick up a few tips to improve their chances of attaining their 1st Dan black belt
Amongst the resident instructors we have: British National Contest Champions, International Kata Champions, Area Kata Coaches and South London Area Squad Coaches. Our instructors train and teach judo throughout the UK and Europe. Amazingly, four of our instructors have demonstrated Kata in Japan, the home of judo.
