Meet The Coaches

Jidel Judo is a family-run club with a passion for developing judoka of all ages and abilities. Our coaching team brings together a wealth of experience from across the sport, with each coach offering their own unique knowledge, skills and journey within judo.

Our coaches have experience as technical officials, referees, competitive judoka and medalists at both British and international level, giving our members access to a broad range of expertise. This allows us to provide not only high-quality technical coaching, but also valuable insight into competition, rules, tactics, mindset and the wider development of a judoka.

At Jidel Judo, we believe that every judoka is different. Our coaching team works together to create a positive, supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can learn, develop and enjoy their judo. Whether someone is taking their first steps onto the mat, looking to build confidence and life skills, or aiming to compete at the highest level, we are committed to helping them reach their potential.

Being a family-run club, we pride ourselves on creating a friendly, welcoming and community-focused atmosphere, where judoka and their families feel part of the Jidel Judo family.
