Shizentai Judo Club
Not managed on Matador yetJudo
Shizentai Judo Club is a not-for-profit, values-led judo club in Borehamwood, founded in 2012 by Ricky and Lisa Cleevely. It welcomes people from preschool age through to adults, from first-timers to experienced grades, and runs two mats side by side so age groups can train together. Kata is a particular strength, with several coaches who are members of the British Kata Team. The club also offers preschool judo, adapted SEN sessions and a Safe Falls course for older people, developed with the University of Hertfordshire. Visitors holding a valid licence are welcome, and newcomers can ask about a free trial session.
