Todmorden Judo Club

The Gentle Art of Self Defense for all ages, fun and fitness.

Based at Todmorden Cricket Club on Burnley Road, the club and its instructors over the years have helped produce many fine judo players of all ages and abilities. The club started at the St Johns Ambulance Hall and when the doors opened for the first time over 100 people turned up. Sean Nuttall opened the club up after moving to Todmorden as he saw a demand for something to do other than the traditional sports. He said: “Judo is the gentle art of self defence, and requires you to use your opponent’s balance and weight against them. Over the last four years founder and senior instructor Sean has been selected three times to compete for Great Britain. Judo has several kata, mostly created in the late 19th century by Kano Jigoro, the founder of judo. The judo kata involve two participants and preserves a number of techniques that are not permitted in competition or in randori, including punches, kicks, and the use of the katana and other weapons.

Our activities include : Martial Arts, Judo and Jiu Jitsu.
