Clayton Green Judo Club

Sorry but the club is now permanently closed. If you are interested in judo in this area contact Antony on [email protected]

Unfortunately I got some bad news from Chorley Council who took over from Active Nation. They are trying to save money and are proposing to cancel the judo. It’s part of a consultation process (to be completed 15th May) and I had to write to them with my views. I did a long email and told them the history of the club and what I thought of it all. Sent a copy to Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Chorley MP and speaker of the House.
I had been trying to start the first session on 24th April but they did not agree. I had listed all the rules to make us COVID safe.
Will keep you all informed.
You are welcome to write to Chorley Council with your views and possibly copy Sir Lindsay.

It has been one year since our last practice at Clayton Green Judo Club as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
I do hope that all our members are safe and well and looking forward to rejoining the club.
We are waiting for the Government, BJA and the Sports Centre to Confirm when this will be possible for our sport. It is always difficult to understand how the restrictions will affect combat sport in particular, where close contact is required.
I hope to have some good news in the next few months.
We will, of course, have to give the mats a deep clean although they have not been used during this period. If you would like to help please let me know.
I will update this page when I have further news.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.

26 at this year’s Christmas party. Lots of fun, yearly trophies and medals presented. Followed by lunch kindly organised by parents.

Well done to Antony who today went to a Dan grading and was awarded 10 points towards his 3rd.

Antony with his well deserved Silver medal at the Commonwealth competition in Wolverhampton. Excellent achievement.
Also at this competition is Jamie D. Had 4 wins and came 7th out of a group of 31. Excellent work rate in all his fights. Proud of both of these players.

Medalist from the Wirral competition: Jacob & Dylan gold, Kian & Nolan (not pictured) bronze.

Two more medals for Jamie D. Bronze at Nottingham Cadet Open fighting older boys. The other medal was gold at Western Open, all with quick ippons and all with different throws.

Bronze in the Team event, well done Jamie.

A great result for Clayton Green at the SKK Open Comp. with Gold for Dylan F.,Oscar W., Stephen B and Szymon. Also a bronze for Amber, smallest in her group
