Located in Scunthorpe, Gooch Judo Kwai 2000 is a voluntary run martial arts club that offers a wide range of fitness and martial arts classes. The club was formed in January 2000 by the father and daughters duo of Tina Parker, a former Great Britain competitor, and Len Gooch. Initially, they started off by hiring community centres, but due to the growing interest, they needed a larger space. Eventually, they found an industrial unit which they refurbished and transformed into a fully matted training facility.
At Gooch Judo Kwai 2000, their aim is to provide a facility suitable for all ages, genders, and abilities at a minimum cost. The club offers various activities, including judo, fitness, ladies fitness/self-defence, multi sports, kickboxing, and personal training. The staff at Gooch Judo Kwai 2000 are all volunteers, and the club is a non-profit organisation. Any income generated is reinvested back into the club to further enhance the facility and services.
The martial arts studio offers classes for individuals of all levels, whether they are beginners or experienced practitioners. With a friendly and welcoming environment, individuals can reach their goals in a safe and supportive space. The classes are led by professional instructors who provide expert training and guidance.
In addition to the martial arts classes, Gooch Judo Kwai 2000 also has a mini gym where individuals can work out using a variety of weights and cardio machines. This allows parents to stay fit while their child is training.
The club also offers various amenities, including being child-friendly, offering free consultations, bike parking, 24/7 availability, parking facilities, and wifi on the premises to ensure a convenient and comfortable experience for all members.
Gooch Judo Kwai 2000 has received positive testimonials from individuals who have trained with them. Michaela Holowczak, who returned to judo after a long break, commended the club for breaking down the techniques into easy-to-follow steps. Samantha Tofourboys Harper expressed gratitude to the Gooch Judo Team for helping her son gain confidence.
