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

2015. "I can't express enough gratitude for the impact Finn Gleeson has had on my life. Before joining his judo club in secondary school, I had always disliked sports-especially rugby and football. But Finn's passion for judo quickly changed my feeling towards exercise. He didn't just tech me a sport, he opened up a whole new world to me in which I could create the habits to look after myself while having fun. Finn had an incredible talent for tailoring his teaching to suit different age groups. He knew exactly how to adapt his lessons to engage anyone..." by email for a promotion booklet. From a student who learnt with me from 13-17 years old. R.
2023. "I always really looked forward to my judo sessions with Finn every week, I think it is an amazing sport. It improved my fitness and coordination, I met new friends and enjoyed learning technique, but it was also a lot of fun.Anyone considering joining, I highly recommend it." A student pre lock down, sent by email long after the event. L
