I’ve been learning judo for 18 months at the Alexandra Park Judo Club; I have competed locally, nationally and internationally; and I already have 2 Bronze medals, 3 Silver medals and 2 Gold medals.
I even did judo during my summer holiday in Denmark with my brother. Six weeks without judo training was just too long a break. So, I joined a local judo club, Helsingor Judo and Ju-Jutso Klub . It was a fantastic experience of great judo, fun physical exercises and Danish traditions.
Helsingor Judo and Ju-Jutso Klub mixes traditional Judo values/discipline with fun and great camaraderie in their training. I thought the Senseis were great and it was fun to learn from them. The 90 min training session included 100 push-ups!
Olympic Judo Master Class Alexandra Park Judo Club has had the honour of welcoming Olympians Ashley
McKenzie, Danny Williams and Nekoda Smythe-Davis to teach Master classes in APS’ very own gym.They came, they trained, they inspired… and Benje had the
chance to compete against the best in Team GB.
Oxfordshire Judo Championships Congratulations Benje on being a
Silver medalist.
The martial art of Judo is a great way to learn self-defense techniques, get a great workout, and lower everyday stress
levels.
Judo is a form of martial arts that involves the use of certain holds, throws and locks. When you spar with your opponent
in Judo, there will be a lot of grappling and controlled movements. Unlike other martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do
and Karate, there are no kicks or punches in Judo.If you would like to get more details of how you could take up Judo
or join your local Judo club, check the link below. APJC are based at Alexandra Park School in our Gym.
