The club has had many special guests & visitors over the years who come from all over the world. This has included World Champions, Olympic Medalists, and some of the best coaches that the world has to offer. The Club moved to a new Dojo facility in 2007 which was re-opened by Kisaburo Watanabe 8th Dan. The Club has the largest purpose built Dojo in Scotland and some of the best facilities in the UK. The dojo is used for national and local events throughout the year and its facilities are used by other sports for training and seminars. There is a double mat area with seating, two large changing areas for women and men, and a gymnasium for cardio and strength training. We welcome everyone to visit and train at our club, one of the best and safest Judo training facilities in the world.
