Welcome to United Judo Club
"In skill opposed, in spirit united."
United Judo was forged through the three Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect – three values we strive to radiate through every session, every competition, and every event we’re part of. At the heart of our judo club is a community, offering a place for children and adults of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to feel welcome into the sport we love. We tailor our sessions for a range of technical abilities in addition to competitive or non-competitive mindsets – we have players across a wide range of technical and competitive levels from school to international. We’re proud to host a range of competitive and technical coaches, with our Head Coach Dave Quinn (Competitive 6th Dan). All of our coaches are DBS checked, hold First Aid, and hold extensive knowledge in utilising Judo for positive mental and physical health.
United Judo has now touched down into their fresh premises based in Bexley and holds a 9Mx18M sprung mat area, spectator seating area, and refreshment facilities. A club social bar is also attached alongside seating, television space, and purchasable refreshments.
Andre Whyte14 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic all inclusive club for my 9 year old. What started out as a trial period became a member for a year and have just renewed for another year. Great value, humorous team teaching the kids the Art of Judo through a mix of structure, discipline and fun games. Although I sit on the bench through gritted teeth sometimes, he does listen, learns and happy to attend the class weekly.

All the coaches are top tier, judokas are great, amazing dojo and you'll be encouraged by Dave and the other coaches to be the best you possibly can. I've never felt better physically or mentally and I'm chomping at the bit to be on the mats in Jan 2026. There's a solid group of women and girls if you want to train only with females, but every lad I've fought with has been amazing, kind and taught me how to adapt throws and pins to my fighting style, strength and body type. Parents of girls- get your girls into judo at UNITED JUDO. I walk through the world with confidence and strength, knowing what I'm capable of and what my limits are. Your girls will thank you later! I've fought in two comps and won Coaches Player of the Year 2025 - I never thought I could, but Dave and the other coaches showed me, I CAN and I WILL.

My daughter Min'e may only be 20 years old but she started taekwondo at 4 years and judo at 6 years of age and she spent many years training with Dave Quinn before United Judo even started and she has trained at a few judo clubs in England, France and Holland. Today Min'e is a level 2 judo coach, mat side judo coach, level 1 & 2 technical judo coach, referee for Southern England and Judo Captain for Middlesex University.

Very nice jon sieloff6 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lorraine and I have visited United Judo's dojo on a number of occasions be it to train or deliver or attend a course. On each occasion we have been made to feel welcome and part of the United family even though we are just occasional visitors. Dave and his team are always encouraging and willing to pass on tips and suggestions from their vast knowledge of the sport. It is truly a club for all which encompasses judoka of all ages and abilities, including those with physical and neurodiverse needs. Added to this Dave and United can be seen supporting local and national events. On a personal note Dave has supported our We Will Remember Them annual charity event from its inception not just with entering competitors but giving much appreciated donations from the sales of action photos taken over the weekend. If you are in the area or want a visit those at United will welcome you in the spirit of judo.
