All About Senior Training

The Pacific Judo Club warmly welcomes newcomers to its senior training sessions, creating a supportive space for participants to engage in judo training. Led by experienced coaches Paul Kirk and Megan Pekin, these sessions focus on building skills in judo techniques, fitness, and discipline. Open to a wide range of ages including 13-17, 18-29, 30-49, 50-64, and 65+, the training is suitable for everyone looking to improve their physical abilities and connect with others in the community.

Each session lasts 90 minutes and involves structured judo drills, partner work, and progressive exercises tailored to different skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, the emphasis is on personal growth and group interaction. Entry fees are to be checked with the club, as they may vary; contact them directly for the latest details. No specific requirements are listed beyond comfortable clothing and a willingness to participate, making it accessible for those ready to start.

Participating in these sessions offers key social and community benefits, such as fostering friendships through shared goals and teamwork in a welcoming environment. Judo training helps enhance confidence, coordination, and overall well-being, while the club's location in Mangakakahi, Rotorua, supports local connections in the Bay of Plenty region.
