About us

A Tremendous and Dynamic Olympic and Paralympic Sport

Judo is a tremendous and dynamic combat sport that demands both physical prowess and great mental discipline. From a standing position, it involves techniques that allow you to lift and throw your opponents onto their backs. On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin your opponents down to the ground, control them, and apply various choke holds or joint locks until submission.

Providing Judo for The North Lancs Community

North Lancs Judo Academy is part of DNA Judo Ltd; one of only 3 organisations in the country with British Judo Association Elite Provider status.

Our academy first opened its doors on Thursday 18th January 2024 at our Morecambe dojo – Grosvenor Park Primary School, Morecambe and we now offer a second weekly practice night starting on Friday 16th January 2026 at our Carnforth dojo – Carnforth Christ Church Primary School. We will be offering these weekly sessions for budding judoka of 4 years of age through to teenagers. We hope to add an adult session during 2026. We welcome judoka of any level, from complete beginners to established players.

Our mission is to make quality judo provision accessible to all and actively increase participation in the sport of judo by providing fun engaging sessions for all our members. It is also important to us to provide our members with growth opportunities through offering gradings, additional training, competitions & courses to help them develop their confidence and support our motto of ‘FAR BETTER TO DARE…’
