“My son loves attending his judo sessions with Ely Dojo. He has been a member for several years now. Stuart and the coaching team are very supportive and keep the sessions fun. Stuart has a great approach to training and members can go on to do contests if they wish to take their training further as they get older. Judo is a great sport for children and it teaches them several skills, helps with their confidence and self defence also. I highly recommend Ely Dojo!”

“My son had no judo experience and has been welcomed warmly by Stuart, Jamie and other members of the club. They are kind, patient, accepting and caring. My son hasn’t looked back and jumps out of bed on the day it is his judo class. From the very first week he hasn’t looked back and loves the discipline and calm control needed to play successfully — it is helping him in all areas of his life.”

“Recommend this great club! Stuart is very friendly and welcoming. I went for the Judo taster classes and it was brilliant! I got some great tips and advice on the mat. Most of all it was a friendly, down to earth atmosphere which I enjoyed being in. I would recommend Ely Dojo to anyone.”

“Excellent judo club and facility. The dojo is purpose-built, the coaching is top quality and the community is genuinely welcoming. A club that takes judo seriously but never loses sight of the fun.”
