Camden Judo.
Since taking over the Camden Youth Games judo programme in 2024, Mike's Judo Club has been at the heart of grassroots judo in the borough. In that time, our young athletes have brought home 5 golds and 3 bronzes at the Youth Games. We're only getting started.
We're steadily building a strong, competitive Camden team, combining hard work on the mat with a genuine love for the sport. Whether a child is just starting out or already stepping onto the competition mat, there's a place for them here.
