EQUIPMENT
The sooner you can purchase a judo suit for your child the better. Judo suits are available from the club together with association badges. Loose clothing or a tracksuit may be worn for the first two or three training sessions.

CLUB EVENTS
Once your child has completed two or three months training he/she will be able to enter local and national events. Our club has a very good contest record having produced: Area, regional, Southern England and National champions. However, parents should always bear in mind that contests are only one part of Judo training and that what we really are trying to teach is the pleasure of being a controlled and skilful Judo Ka.

GRADINGS
Your child will be allowed toenter 3 judo gradings or assessments per year; providing they have attended at least 70% of the training sessions between each grading. Upto the age of 10, your child will add to their white belt when they are successful. Under thsisystem even very young children can see their progree without having to take severe exams! And as every parent knows nothing succeeds like success!

SEIKI-JUKU KARATE

The style of Karate practised at Bu'sen is Seiki Juku. This is not merely a style of karate, but a philosophy, laying great emphasis on safety, discipline and the building of confidence. when your child studies karate within this system they will learn, by action and not words, that the care of others around them is also their responsibility.
