We offer classes in Judo or Taekwondo (both Olympic Sports) in Ipswich and surrounding areas. 

• JUDO meaning ‘the gentle way’. This was developed in Japan by Jigoro Kano. Judo is an unarmed martial art which has been derived from Ju-Jitsu. Students learn different holds and grappling techniques, to quickly unbalance an opponent, making them fall.

• TAEKWONDO meaning ‘the way of the hand and foot’ in Korean. It is a Korean martial art that borrows from Okinawan Karate, Chinese martial arts, and ancient traditional Korean combat arts of taekkyeon and gwonbeop. Taekwondo is a form of unarmed self-defense system, where in the emphasis is on kicks rather than on hand strikes.
