About Our Club/Team/Organisation:
JUDO is a discipline with its roots in the Japanese martial arts (Budo). Professor Jigaro Kano created it around 1870 in Japan. He extracted relatively safe techniques (throws holds

and formed them into a comprehensive sport which he called Judo (“the gentle way”). Judo has a deep and lasting beneficial effect on the physique and psychology of children. It channels aggression and

SELF-CONFIDENCE and SELF-DISCIPLINE.
The Lyonsdown Judo club was created by Bryan Marcus and Tony Larkins in September 1982 as a non-profit-making family and community-based club. We are affiliated to the British Judo Council
,
allowing members to enter competitions and other outside events and to ensure that grades are of a nationally recognised standard. In 2008 the club opened a new dojo at Woodhouse College and changed it’s name to Barnet Judo to reflect that it covers the whole Barnet area.
Coaching at the club is currently led by Simon Mazzullo (6th Dan and previous BJC Champion)
,
Maurice Tambwe (1st Dan)
,
Ashley Gaitley (1st Dan). Other senior members are encouraged to take coaching qualifications and hopefully will be helping out on the mat.
