“I have been teaching Judo since 1985. I have taught with many different coaches whose various styles have profoundly influenced my own Judo, and given me a varied and wide grounding for my own style.
I believe that regardless of age or ability, all the participants of my classes will have the opportunity to achieve a higher level of learning, co-ordination and skill, but that first and foremost all will learn through fun and enjoyment. thus improving self discipline, confidence and personal skills.”
JULIE MORGAN
1st Dan, Club Coach
Stepping on to the judo mat for the first time at 18 I was struck by the variety in the sport, the skill, the all round fitness and problem solving it requires. Further more it was an awful lot of fun and a big confidence booster. I wish to help my students benefit from all these positive aspects of judo and hopefully get as much out of it as I do.

I started Judo as a boy, stopped for a few years then took up the sport again in my early twenties. I remember being amazed and slightly embarrassed, as I was being thrown around the tatami by a fourteen year old child, seemingly at will. He’s in his late twenties now and thankfully he has to work a little harder to throw me.
I’ll enter tournaments (under duress!). I didn’t start Judo to win medals, for me Judo is an enjoyable way to keep my mind and body active. My life is immersed in Judo now, and would be quite empty without it. I’ve met some fantastic people in various Dojos around the world, many of whom I can call my close friends.
I achieved 1st dan at the Budokwai in 2001 and I’m currently fighting for 2nd. I qualified as a level two coach in 2005. I am now teaching at various locations around London, including leisure centres, primary schools and a Synagogue.
I find that there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a room full of children or adults learning and enjoying this wonderful sport we know as JUDO.
