Provides judo teaching and coaching; the majority as extra/co- curricula sports clubs in state & private schools. Additional training is available outside set sessions. We also run the coaching of the student club at the University of Bath. Plus a recreational session there for adults on a Tuesday (see the page linked). We hope this site will give parents, schools & perhaps, students a better insight of Gleeson Judo. I hope you enjoy it! Any comments can be sent via the contact us page. Please also see Ts&Cs among other things on download page, thank you. FG. 29.6.24

NEWS
12.11.25. LONDON OPEN 2025;
Pictured above is the University of Bath Student Squad that went.
So we had a good day out. Our novice class brought back a gold and a bronze medal, intermediates 4 golds & 3 bronzes, advanced 2 bronzes. First comp of the season, many a bit rusty but all good experience leading up to BUCS (British University & Colleges Sports championships) in the spring! Training sessions are also going well, with regular attendance of around 30 - I'm sure by March we'll be more than ready!
The High Performance programme's athletes also made a showing, taking a gold & silver from a group of four. They are on a lead up to the British Champs next month.
4.11.25. So everything is underway now! Lots of things happening much behind the scenes, hence the radio silence on here. The uni of Bath student club is off to the London open this weekend, masive squad of over 20 - never been that big before! More have attained the level where they can now train along side the High Performance athletes - and are relishing the opportunity!
School clubs are going well. Numbers at record highs for many schools. All very encouraging! Special coming up next month, with Roxy P. Looking forward to that! A great judo player in my opinion. More of that below. Think that's it for now. Thanks.
4.9.25. We're almost ready to get back at it! Most schools start next week. QEH Bristol have a judo demo tomorrow morning (Fri. 5th), I'm hoping for lots of new enthusiastic judo-ists! An inter-school match later in the term might be on the cards...
In other news, many of the players from from the university of Bath are off to Japan next week for a 3 week training block! Lucky them, although with the temperature at around 35 & high humidity not sure its going to be all fun!
The student club is looking ready for another bumper year! Comps already marked down in the diary, socials being organised and 'fresher's week' is still some weeks off!
Tuesday's adult sessions should be opening up again next week. Need to make a couple of checks before it's official. Please get in touch if you're interested.
That's it for now I think. Any questions please get in touch! Look forward to seeing you all very soon!!
Finn.

Extra stuff, to save searching...
Tying belts,
> Here's a link to a video I made.
(Tell me what you think of the sound track )
> Please water kids before sessions!
> No school trousers under judo ones! Too hot!!
> Don't tumble dry kit - cool wash please!
Year 6 students or students changing to a school we don't do, I strongly suggest & recommend going to the Uni Community club. Their sessions are on Monday (6.45-8) & Thursday (6.30-7.45). If you'd like me to be there, no problem just let me know - all part of the service!
Again a note for the future, for those really enthusiastic about chasing a judo dream, this is the link to Team Bath Judo - which you could start looking at joining once you get into your late teens! Keep training though! It'll get hard -
