Once you have attended a few sessions and wish to take it a bit further you will need to join the British Judo Council (M.A.C.). This is to obtain your licence which enables you to take part in competitions and fights, and also covers you with insurance. See below for further details.
Membership
People take part in judo for many different reasons. All levels of ability are catered for with competitions having separate categories to take them into account. There are also non-competitive grades for those no longer able to progress contest wise. Judo is a very physical sport, which makes it ideal to build stamina and fitness. For the younger people it also help build self-confidence and a sense of achievement.
So who can take part in judo? Well just about anybody, from school age up to old age, male or female.
