Westerleigh Judokwai was founded in 1995 by two brothers, Paul and Chris Everest. They had a handful of students, a small pile of gym mats and a bag full of enthusiasm. Since 1995 the club has grown to the extent ofhaving over a hundred members ranging from 5 years old and over. Neither of them imagined that the club would be anything like it is now and along with a huge mat area costing over £4000 and with a load of help from volunteers the club will continue to grow.
What Is So Special About Westerleigh Judokwai?
We Are A Judo Club With A Difference.
Firstly, we are closely linked with the Special Olympics organization and so our coaches are fully trained to work with both children and adults with special needs. However manyofour judo students are regular main streamand they trainright alongside those with special needs.
Westerleigh is a family run club and has never segregated the main stream and special needs students. In fact, we believe that we are the only club in Sussex that integrates main stream and special needs students in this way. At Westerleigh Judokwai we believe that our club is different, because here we're all the same. Everyone trains together in a safe and friendly environment.
Judo is unique in that all age groups, both sexes, and most disabled persons can participate together in learning and practicing the sport. Judo is an inexpensive, year-round activity, that appeals to people from all types of lifestyle. Many people over sixty years of age enjoy the sport, as well as very young boys and girls. There is a Sensi in Hastings which has been doing judo for over 40 years now and still teaches kids now.
Judo develops self-discipline and respect for yourself and others. Judo provides the means for learning self-confidence, concentration, and leadership skills, as well as physical coordination, power, and flexibility.
