Judo is a great way for children to gain positive mental and physical attributes in a fun friendly environment
Our Panda Cubs Program is specifically developed for kid’s ages 4-7 years old. This professionally designed curriculum teaches the children important life skills in a fun, exciting, and enriching environment.

In essence, the Panda Cubs curriculum utilities the structure of judo training to improve and develop:
- fine & gross motor skills
- Confidence
- Balance & Co-ordination

Gorillas
9 – 12 Years Old
To reach Black Belt is a major achievement and denotes a high degree of skill and discipline in Judo.
If your child has progressed through the A.S Judo Panda Cubs, they will have some idea of what’s in store but where the Panda’s Cubs emphasis is on having fun, staying t and learning the foundations of Judo, the Academy is to help develop Judo excellence. Consequently, we ask more of the children and help them achieve beyond their expectations. As they work harder they become very competent at throws and groundwork moves and also develop as individuals
becoming more focused and able to grasp new techniques more quickly.
The advanced Judo skills they develop also breeds self-confidence, (…there is nothing like throwing someone through the air to feel strong and powerful! ) The environment is still relaxed and fun but the progress they make by grading for the next belt helps build healthy respect both for themselves and for their friends in the sessions. We hope all our students will benefit from learning Judo not just in terms of building strength but building character too.
Gorillas – From age 9-12 coaching is more intense as the students climb the challenging ladder towards achieving a Judo black belt
From 4-8 years old the A.S Judo students learn the fundamentals, they build strength and flexibility and learn basic techniques. Beyond this, from age 10 up to 17 and 18 the students are pushed to master complex groundwork techniques, arm locks, strangles and the throws demanding more strength and fluidity.
Alan encourage the boys and girls to compete and to be more aggressive in practice (all under strict guidance and control) in doing so they learn the discipline involved and build self-confidence that they can achieve the higher grades they are now aspiring too. Many have been with A.S Judo since the age of 7 or 8 years old and are now on the verge of achieving their black belt before they are 18. They have made great friends along the way and grown in stature, fitness and flexibility.

Judo has a lot to commend it. It can bring the best out of children perhaps not so enthusiastic about ball sports. It is a disciplined sport that helps boisterous children focus their energy. it also provides a ladder of achievement for children to pursue their British Judo Association belt gradings from White belt up to black belt. It breeds a self respect students take into the classroom. The A.S Judo team of ex British and international Champions use Judo disciplines to enhance balance, strength, co-ordination as well as self respect for their fellow students and their own self-confidence. Alan Scott has discovered in his Judo academy that…”Often unruly kids suddenly quiet down and start channelling their energy in a more positive way. the quieter ones gain confidence and respect from others”
