Overview
Open-access judo at the University of Bath.
The Team Bath Community Club is where most Kudos Judo children progress to as they grow older — a twice-weekly club session run by the Team Bath coaches in the traditional Japanese-style dojo at the Sports Training Village.
Training is open-access: you don't need to be a Kudos student to attend, but for our students it's the natural next step on the pathway from in-school lessons to proper club training and, eventually, competition.
Weekly Schedule
Sports Training Village, University of Bath, Claverton Down, BA2 7AY. Two sessions a week, term-time.
Ready to join?
We'll meet you at the dojo entrance, show you around the Sports Training Village and get you on the mat alongside our regular members.

Overview
Senior Randori for serious judoka.
The senior performance programme at Team Bath is where Britain's most decorated judoka have trained for decades. The sessions below are the open Randori windows — high-quality sparring for any senior player (16+) with a blue belt or above.
These are not technical classes — they're Randori (practice fighting). Come warmed-up, come ready, come with a training partner if you can.
Weekly Schedule
Sports Training Village, University of Bath. Minimum Blue Belt & age 16+. Full senior licence required.
