Coventry's double Olympic
silver medallist Neil Adams is backing the British Judo Association’s
new adult beginner’s course which comes to Coventry Judo Club
on Friday 23 September.
The 10-week course, which
is launching across the country in September, will see newcomers
enjoy a fun-fuelled experience of the Olympic sport which has
a highly-motivating and rewarding non-competitive grading scheme.
Club patron Adams, who
won Olympic medals in 1980 and 1984, said: “This is a tremendous
opportunity for people to try a challenging and rewarding sport
which will see you develop your fitness levels, balance, coordination
and flexibility in a no-pressure environment. The health benefits
are a great incentive to practice judo and it’s even more enjoyable
when you’re learning a new sport at the same time.
"Judo can be practiced
by anyone and if you’re looking for a new challenge, a way to
get fit or you’ve ever been curious about trying a martial art,
this is the perfect opportunity for you.”
No prior experience of
judo or any sport is required; you can bring a family member,
a friend or make new ones as you practice the sport over the 10-week
course and complete you’re first grading at end of it.
British Judo’s motto is
‘Judo for All’ as the sport can be practiced by all ages and official
weight categories for senior judo players (known as judoka) who
choose to enter competitions goes from -48kg to +78kg for women
and -60kg to +100kg for men.
For the course fee of just
£60 you will receive 10 weeks judo tuition, a British Judo adult
licence, a judo suit and the opportunity to take your first grading.
