Why do I need a licence?
Although the accident rate is far lower than in some other sports it has to be said that Judo is a tough combat sport. It is therefore wise to have a licence, which gives insurance cover. Gradings and competitions take place all over the country and throughout the year and anyone taking part in these events must have a valid licence. At Wivenhoe Judo Club we will insist that you join the British Judo Association and obtain a licence after you have been coming for about 6 weeks. The cost for a junior licence is approx. £15 and senior £24.
