THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF JUDO FUNDAMENTALS

THE COMMANDO STANDARD

LEARN THE BASICS OF JUDO AND WHAT TO EXPECT AS A WHITE BELT

SIMPLICITY

THE FIRST STEP TO MASTERY

Judo, like any martial art, is a rich and intricate discipline with much to explore and absorb. This depth is what makes it profoundly valuable. However, amidst this complexity, the fundamentals can sometimes be obscured or conveyed in a confusing manner. At our institution, we believe in demystifying Judo for newcomers by highlighting the simplicity within its core principles. We strive to teach these fundamentals clearly and effectively, ensuring that even beginners can access the benefits of the sport from day one. By doing so, we not only make the learning process more accessible but also allow individuals to embark on their Judo journey with a solid foundation, setting them on a path to mastery with confidence.

STRUCTURE

HOW TO THINK LIKE A JUDO PLAYER

In our approach to teaching Judo, we emphasize a structured foundation, recognizing that a strong base is essential for all subsequent growth and development in the sport. We've carefully curated our curriculum to prioritize the elements that provide the most immediate benefit at this stage of a player's journey. This method ensures that learners build their skills methodically and effectively, always focusing on what's most pertinent at their current level of expertise. By following our structured path, you gain not only a solid grounding in Judo but also the freedom to explore and advance in the sport with clarity and purpose, knowing that each step is thoughtfully designed to propel you toward mastery.

CONFIDENCE

JOIN THE CLUB

Being a member of our Judo community offers a multitude of invaluable benefits, and one of the most remarkable is the confidence it helps individuals cultivate. Discover a unique sense of belonging and camaraderie. Through our fundamentals, you build a profound belief in your abilities and a newfound self-assuredness. This allows you to train both safely and intelligently. This confidence extends beyond the dojo, positively influencing various aspects of your life. It's a confidence that comes not only from mastering techniques but also from knowing you have a community of like-minded individuals who have your back.

OUR COACH : MARCUS BROOME

Throwing around big people, and putting them in an armlock: what’s not to like?

Judo is an accessible Olympic sport, and is hugely adaptable: I’m committed to tailoring training to everyone’s needs.

Over the past 30 years I have competed to a high standard and coached many to do the same. As the Commando Temple lead Judo Coach, I am a Level 2 British Judo Association and manage the fight club.

I consider myself a life long student of Judo, but I also have a keen interest in all grappling disciplines, and their training systems.

I also wrestled professionally for a number of years, and often draw on other traditional grappling arts such as catch wrestling, Sombo and even Cornish wrestling: I know a good Lancashire cross buttock or a double sprag when I see one!

HOW IT WORKS

  • WHY THE STANDARD IS SO HIGH

    Quite simply - it needs to be!

    Judo can be an incredibly rewarding sport that provides health, fitness and skill. However, it can be incredibly confusing - and few judo clubs have a clear structure on how to best educate new players. We believe that strong foundations echo throughout an athletes journey even to the very top. By starting strong, we provide the greatest opportunity for success.
