The story so far …
Rushjudo, opened its doors for the first time in November 2009.
It has long been the ambition of the Rush family to open up their own Judo club, in order to give back to the sport that has given them so much.
At Rushjudo we pride ourselves on being inclusive and open to all people.
As a registered charity we support our Elite players in being the best judoka they can be. We have produced numerous Great Britain Champions, England Squad members and currently have two of our players training full time at the Olympic training centre.
In September 2015 we moved to a permanent dojo set within the old school gym at Ashlyn’s School. With donations from local companies and the help of parents with professional skills we were able to completely transform the old gym into one of the best facilities in country.
With a training area measuring 166 sqm, a sprung floor and a seating area for parents we now have a home to match our aspirations to be a leading club in the community.
In March 2017 head coach Laurie took up Brazialian Jiu-Jitsu, training at the Roger Gracie Academy in Aylesbury. From his first session he understood how important it was to train in both Judo and BJJ to become an accomplished all round grappler.
The goal was to one day open up BJJ classes as part of the rushjudo programme and in March 2025 we were able to achieve this by brining Daniel Lewis on board as our BJJ head coach.
BJJ is ideal for adult beginners, also for our judo players to improve their ground game and our experienced blackbelts to learn new skills and embark on a new Martial arts journey.
Our aim is to establish Rush BJJ as leading club within the UK Brazilain Jiu-jitsu community.
