FAQ
When is a good time to start Judo?
Anytime is a good time to start Judo! We take students from 5 years old and above. Don’t think your too old to start, we currently have members in their 70’s.
Can I attend both locations or do I have to only go to one?
Once you are a member, you are welcome to attend both locations (Howick / Kohimarama).
Do I need a Judo suit (Judogi) to start with?
No a Judogi is not required at the start. We have spare jackets at the dojo.
Can I stay and watch my child’s class?
Yes, we provide seating for parents and guardians to watch their child’s progress. We only ask that you don’t interact with your child during the lesson.
Do many females do Judo?
Yes they do. The Howick & St Heliers Judo Club has girls and women at all levels.
Women benefit from judo’s key attributes, and from gaining a method of self-defence. Women who practice judo will feel safe in any situation where strength, technique, and intelligence are primary in their safety. In addition, Judo provides a feeling of fellowship. On the Judo mat artificial social distinctions disappear. Everyone is engaged in the same activity.
Judo as a sporting activity is something that families can enjoy and develop in together. It fosters a respect and care that enrich any social group, but especially a family.
Judo truly is for anyone – especially girls and women.
