Amazing instructors and facilities. Sundays just wouldn't be the same without UJA in my life. So much fun and giggles but also great instructors with loads of knowledge. Thanks jay, dan and jayson and thanks to all the members for making it amazing.

Fantastic community to be a part of, my son absolutely loves his weekly judo sessions. Jay, Dan and Jayson are brilliant with both the adults and juniors groups ensuring all who attend get the most out of their session. They get to know their students and really Tailor and focus on what they need from them to better their skills each week.

I love my Sunday mornings here! I started a few months back and the group is so encouraging. Everyone is always really positive and I actually love the exercise! Does my body ache afterwards? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes! I find it more fun than staring at a gym wall on a treadmill!

Joined UJA about 18 months ago. An amazing place to train. Friendly and inclusive whilst at the same time pushing everyone to improve. I can honestly say I have enjoyed every single session since I joined. There is a great mix throughout the year with charity events, local competitions and working through syllabus for gradings. I couldn’t be happier.

My son has been attending for over 1 Month now and although he is generally a shy kid. Robin, Jay, Dan and the other Junior students have made him feel so welcome. He comes home excited for the next Week. Its well organised and friendly. Thanks guys.

An excellent club and perfect place to learn judo. Jay and the team give first class tuition for all ages and abilities.

Events are posted throughout the year, including charity events which are always great fun to get involved in.

The group itself are a great bunch. Always supporting eachother in our progression and having a few laughs along the way

Very Welcoming and friendly club!
The instructors are all very knowledgeable and always wanting to help you improve in the sport.
I was very nervous about joining a new club but was quickly put at ease by everyone there.
My son always attends the children's class and loves it! Again the instructor is welcoming and friendly and very very patient!
I'd recommend universal judo academies to anyone wanting to give judo a try x

Amazing Judo club. I had been looking to get back into judo and come across this place when searching online. The classes are very welcoming and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Best thing I've done getting back into the sport and becoming part of a great club
