Rushjudo was founded in 2009 and has gone on to be one of the countries leading judo clubs. Over the years Rushjudo has produced numerous England squad / GB players who have won international medals and the club is currently a recognised England performance centre.
The club club prides itself on inclusivity, boasting a large recreational base as well as one of the largest Adaptive Judo sections in the country for students with SEN.
In March 2025 Rushjudo added Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the Youth / Adult curriculum.
BJJ is a fantastic compliment to judo training and visa versa.
BJJ originated from judo when the Gracie family in Brazil really focused on the ground fighting aspect of Judo and in particular the submitting of the opponent. Over time a whole ruleset was established that has meant that BJJ has developed as a separate sport on its own.
The best way to describe it is judo is 80% standing / throwing and 20% ground fighting whilst BJJ is 90% ground fighting and 10 % standing /throwing.
Every fight starts standing so why ignore your stand up game ? Judo is the most effective way to get your partner to the floor, cross training in both should be standard !
Our Judo classes form part of the BJJ membership and we highly recommend our students try it out to improve their take down game !
