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 Local Communities

DNA Judo is recognised as a British Judo Association Elite Provider and is lead by British Judo Association Coach of the Year (2023) Danny Harper.  We offer sessions for budding judoka of 4 years of age through to adults. We welcome judoka of any level, from complete beginners to established players. We have academies located across the North of England & host high quality tournaments, training camps & masterclasses. We understand that new members join us for a variety of reasons whether that is to stay active, progress through the belts, learn basic self defence or reach their potential within the British Judo competition pathway. Our member centred approach to delivering our sessions ensures that everyone develops at their own pace.
