Leicester Judo Academy

Outstanding opportunity for young children, teenagers and adults to join Leicester Judo Academy! Criag is an excellent Sensei, great with kids! He has lots of passion and passes this to all kids with great results in their achievements! Children gain their confidence, respect and knowledge how to protect themselves.Excellent place - I am highly recommending LJA!!

What a great club friendly members, the coach is amazing really cares about the kids and judo in general. Through lock down he went well out of his was to provide online sessions for free so that the kids would not miss out and for my daughter and son it was a god send to see their judo friends I really can't thank Craig enough for all he has done for my kids 100% top guy.

Great coaches and members.The levels and abilities range from absolute beginners to national and international champions.

The atmosphere here is fantastic. Both the coaches and students alike are all warm and friendly and knowledgeable. It's very cheap especially considering the standard of teaching. My 6 year old loves it.

Both my kids train here as do I. By far one of the best places to train for adults and children. Brilliant coaches for all levels, great atmosphere and environment, totally family friendly. Very safe and just loads of fun to be had. I love this place.

I've been a member of the club (exclusively for Muay Thai) with coach Kristian and I love it.Great people, a coach with 20+ years experience who drills the basics and fundamentals unlike some other clubs who just sling you into a ring for sparring after your first session.Great for fitness and self defense alike amongst a bunch of lovely people of similar experience/ability.For £5 a session it's worth at least trying it!Although I haven't done the Judo or other classes I've met and know the coaches from training and they're similar to Kristian, great blokes.Very knowledge with training and Coach Craig can assist with diet and nutrition also.10/10

We couldn’t recommend LJA enough. There is a great atmosphere, where respect, hard work, resilience and teamwork are fostered. Members are so encouraging and supportive. A very warm and friendly community and we felt welcome instantly.As for the coach, we couldn’t speak highly enough of him, Craig’s knowledge of Judo is second to none and his passion for the sport is infectious to the club - he’s fantastic with kids and adults alike, he’s a real great guy and fantastic at what he does.Lessons are very reasonably priced and worth every penny in our opinion!

Fantastic judo club, my son joined this club a bit more than a month ago. Kids and parents are friendly and helpful. The coach really cares about the kids, and promotes a brilliant moral code and supportive environment.Dan/Alex
