Sobell Judo Club

Sobell Judo Club is one of the longest-established judo clubs in the UK, founded in 1973 and based in a purpose-built dojo with tatami inside the Sobell Leisure Centre in Islington. It teaches traditional judo under JFAUK rules, splitting time evenly between stand-up throwing and groundwork, and also covers leg grabs, submissions and no-gi judo. Senior sessions suit judoka of all levels, including grapplers from BJJ, wrestling and MMA who want to sharpen their judo. Newcomers join through a short induction that covers breakfalls, gripping and etiquette. The club grades under JFAUK, hosts randori sessions, open mats, invitational tournaments and seminars, and fields an active competition squad. Its head instructor also runs a widely followed judo YouTube channel.
