Judo is an originally Japanese contact sport for all ages with a rich tradition and history. Judo has many specializations. It allows you to compete in matches and master traditional technique series. Judo contributes to resilience (self-confidence), and motor skills, for example learning to fall safely. Judo brings much joy.
Budo Gouweleeuw offers judo to a wide audience from 4 years old. Besides regular classes for youth and adults, we have special training sessions for the following target groups:
Competition judo
Budo Gouweleeuw has competition groups on Wednesday evening especially for the die-hards. In these training sessions, special attention is paid to competition techniques, strength, and cardio. These lessons are intended for enthusiastic judokas who are looking for an extra challenge.
Budo Gouweleeuw organizes its own tournament every year to introduce members to judo competitions in a familiar environment. In addition, it is possible for interested parties to participate in both regional and national competitions outside the club.

Tumble Judo (2 and 3-year-olds)
At Budo Gouweleeuw we have added toddler judo to our curriculum, especially for the very youngest. Children want to move. By tumbling in a group, they develop their motor and social skills and benefit from this throughout their lives. Your toddler is introduced to the basic principles of judo in a playful way.
