Dudley Judo Club was established in 1954.
As a sport and as a club, we pride ourselves on welcoming everyone, from children to adults, experienced competitors to beginners. We provide a safe space and encourage a family like environment offering everything from recreational judo for all the family to competitive training.
Dudley Judo Club is headed up by Chairman and Chief Instructor Alan Hackett, who is 4th Dan black belt, Level 2 BJA coach and Foundation referee. The club also has a team of experienced coaches.

What happens when I turn up?
A good martial arts school knows that the most important task is looking after our newcomers, after all, the first step is the biggest and most important!
One of our friendly coaches will greet you to give you an overview of the class and venue, check a few quick details and introduce you to our warm and welcoming family.
Please wear tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt to your first class and we will provide a suit (or ‘Gi’) for you to borrow. If you have an existing martial arts uniform, bring it as it may be fine to wear (white or blue only though please), and also a flat drink in a bottle. Finally, please make us aware of any medical conditions (such as Asthma for example).
Pricing;
First lesson is free then fees are paid monthly, please call for details.. Membership/Insurance is obtained via the British Judo Association (click Link), but let us now of any questions.
Suits can be obtained from the club or independently and can start from as low as £20. There is no need to wear any branded suits to our club, as long as they are Judo (or BJJ) suits and you are welcome to use any second hand suits etc brought online.
