Training

Unfortunately, because of Sport Sheffield / Sheffield Student Union rules we are only open to students and alumni, we cannot accept others at training sessions.

People will often continue to the pub after training for a chat. Everyone is welcome to come along, if you're not sure which pub people are going to after training or where it is just ask!

Prepare for training

  • Don't be late!

  • Be ready to start at session time, not five or ten minutes later.

  • If you don't have a Judo kit (JudoGi) wear loose comfortable clothing (without zips/buttons), ideally covering legs/arms.

  • Don't forget a bottle of water, you'll want it!

  • Keep your nails trimmed (both toe and finger nails)

  • Wear something on your feet (flip flops can be bought for a few quid, or traditional zori) when not on the mat.

  • Remove all jewellery prior to training (includes piercings, watches, bracelets, festival wrist bands etc).

Club rules

  • Shoes must not be worn on the mat area.

  • Shoes must be worn when off the mat.

  • Help move the mats.

  • By not doing, you're not being clever. You are going to annoy club mates.

  • When you feel unwell or have an infection, don't train. It will spread!

  • Keep drinks off the mat.

  • Keep your JudoGi (Judo kit) clean, that means washing it regularly!

  • Bleeding - Clean and dress the wound and clean the mat immediately. Wipes for the mat are available by the first aid kit. Inform a coach.

  • Injury - inform a coach.
