A little reassurance
Before you begin.
What age can I start judo?
Our kids judo classes in Aberdeen start at age 5. Kiddies is for ages 5–8, Juniors for ages 9–13, and Teens & Adults for ages 14 and over. See the timetable for current eligibility and ask the coaches about the right group.
Do I need previous martial arts experience?
Not at all. Our classes welcome complete beginners as well as those with previous judo, wrestling or martial arts experience. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their starting level.
What about safety?
Judo is a contact sport. Our coaches teach techniques progressively, including how to fall, and adapt practice to age and ability. Speak to the coaches before joining if you have an injury or anything that might affect your training.
What should I wear to my first session?
For your first session, comfortable sportswear such as a T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms is perfectly fine. Once you decide to continue, we recommend buying a judo uniform (judogi).
Do I need to be fit or athletic to start?
Absolutely not. Judo is for everyone, regardless of fitness level or athletic ability. Training gradually develops strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and overall fitness.
Can I join if I only want to improve my fitness?
Of course. Not everyone joins judo to compete. Whether your goal is fitness, confidence, discipline, self-development or simply trying something new, judo has something to offer.
Can I take part in competitions?
Yes. For those interested in competing, we provide opportunities to develop their skills and take part in local, regional and national competitions. Competition is encouraged but never compulsory.
Do you offer classes for complete beginners?
Yes. Our sessions cater to different ages and abilities, so beginners can learn the fundamentals while more experienced members keep developing their techniques.
Can judo help build self-confidence?
Learning a skill, practising with a partner and making steady progress can build confidence. Respect, kindness and self-control are part of our practice, with encouragement to help each member grow at their own pace.
How do I book my free first session?
Contact AMIC Judo by phone, email or the enquiry form. Tell us the participant’s age group and which day suits you. Our coaches will confirm a suitable class and arrange your free first session; sending an enquiry does not reserve a place automatically.
How much does judo cost?
Your first session is free, with no joining fee. Bronze is £20 per month for one session a week, Silver is £32 for two, and Gold is £39 for three. Family discounts give the second member 10% off and the third member 20% off. Contact the club to arrange the discount.
