Merseyside Judo Academy

I’ve been training at MJA the last couple of months to develop grappling experience , and seen judo as the perfect fit for that , with a combination of stand up and ground fighting. Jay Thompson is an excellent sensei with a vast experience in judo amongst other martial arts. Sessions are at 6 am mon/wednesday/Friday, and consist of fitness , throws/joint locks, ground fighting and randori(sparring) As well as the traditional gi grips ,each technique has a no gi and self defence application....

Been training here for 3-4 months doing the morning sessions, perfect for me as I can get some judo training in before school run and work, great bunch and very knowledgeable. Gym/dojo has great facilities, everyone genuinely wants to see you improve, such a positive atmosphere.

Extremely knowledgeable teachers, with experience across a good amount of martial arts. People training there were all really friendly and helpful in my practice sessions.

Good place to look if you are interested in taking up or learning judo in the Merseyside area

I found this place very capable of the training i required
