The mission of 3ks Judo Club is to offer grading, competitive and coaching opportunities in Judo and Martial Arts in Smethwick. Also to promote the club within the local community and to ensure a duty of care to all members of the club. We coach in a way that is fair to everyone, whatever race, culture and religion. Membership of the club is open to anyone interested in promoting, coaching, volunteering or participating in Judo.
Founded in 1964, by Dr Malcolm Collins our club has been a hub for judo enthusiasts of all levels. Karu Kyoshi Kan, is inspired by a Japanese phrase, “place of learning”. Whether you’re looking to master new techniques, build confidence, or stay fit, we’re here to support your judo journey.
At the 3ks Judo club, we believe in the power of discipline, respect, and perseverance. Our skilled instructors bring years of experience and dedication, ensuring a safe and friendly environment for both beginners and advanced judokas. We focus on more than just technical skill – our training fosters personal growth, teamwork, and community spirit.
From children to adults, we welcome everyone to join our diverse family. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or sharpening your competition skills, we offer classes tailored to every level.
Join us, and discover the strength of mind and body that judo can offer.
