Frequently Asked Questions

Kids can usually start judo from around age 5, with some clubs offering special programs for children as young as 4.

Yes, there are several judo clubs in and around Chorley that welcome children. It’s a good idea to check club websites or contact them directly to see what age groups they cater for and what their class schedule is like.

Most kids’ judo classes in Chorley cost between £5 and £10 per session, with some clubs offering discounts for regular attendance or monthly memberships.
