ABOUT US
Established in 2001, Easton Judo Club teaches people of all ages ranging from 6 to 60. You can learn in a friendly, safe environment. We believe Judo can be enjoyed by everyone.
The club is governed by the British Judo Council (Martial Arts Circle) which was formed in 1968 by Mr. Kenshiro Abbe, 8th Dan Judo and a 6th or 7th Dan in many other Japanese martial arts.
You may be interested to know that Mr. Abbe, the son of a Kendo master (Japanese Swordsman), trained at the Butokukai in Kyoto which, was the main rival of and usually the victor over, the Kodokan in Tokyo. He won the Open Weight at the World Championship, the All Japan Championship, three times.
Today, Mr. Abbe’s teachings live on through the generations of students that have followed.
