Judo is the 2nd most practiced sport in the world after football and has amazing benefits! It keeps children fit, teaches respect, improves confidence, coordination, balance, movement and agility, gives them a chance to meet new friends and most importantly, they have FUN!

We also offer Adult Beginners Classes on Saturdays from 11:30-12:30 in the Enler Centre, Ballybeen.

A class for beginners ONLY! Male and female 16 years and over.

James makes it onto the NI Talent Development Programme!

It's been a fantastic couple of months for James Reid, one of Murakwai & Northern Ireland Judo's top talents!

In August James travelled to the Eastern Area's British ranking event in Norwich where he not only won his junior category but also won his first senior British ranking event!

In winning both events at the Eastern Area event James became the first NI player to qualify for the 2016 Commonwealth Championships which are to be held in Port Elizabeth, South Africa next April.

Get fit and join the fun with our new Adult beginner classes

Judo burns a massive amount of calories, on top of that it improves strength and is a great sport for conditioning, improving flexibility while learning a new skill in a fun environment!
