James, the organiser of Sportif Judo Club in Galashiels, is reaching out to the sports community. James wants you all to know that whether you’re new to judo or dreaming of Olympic glory, this club has got something special for you.
Sportif Judo Club runs classes for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced athletes. The focus isn’t just on learning judo, but also on building character and staying fit.
A standout feature here is the Sportif Excel Programme. This takes you from a beginner level right up to Olympic standard with solid training and development. It’s not just about competing; it’s about striving to be the best you can be.
Special events and camps, like the upcoming International Winter Camp in November 2019, offer extra opportunities to hone your skills and meet judo enthusiasts from around the world.
James also believes that judo is more than a sport or self-defence—it’s a way to build character and get fit for life. Olympic medallist Nuno Delgado backs this up, recommending the Sportif programme to anyone wanting to succeed in life.
Many parents and athletes have praised the supportive and well-structured environment at the club. They’ve seen first-hand how it encourages independence, resilience, and ambition, helping people grow both as athletes and as individuals.
The coaching team is top-notch, with experts like Peter Gardiner, John Buchanan, Jenni Brien Millar, and Clare Buchanan dedicated to giving you the best training experience.
James invites everyone—kids, young adults, adults—to join the Sportif Judo family. With great coaching and a supportive atmosphere, the Sportif Judo Club is where you can achieve your goals and thrive.
