Reviews"We had an amazing time at the Festival of Sport the Judo was my son's absolute favourite and it totally made his weekend. Paddy and Tom let him join in throughout the weekend and even presented him with his own badge which he is delighted with. They were so kind and patient and I only wish we lived in Norfolk so he could train with them regularly!"
"Great club and coaches, would highly recommend, great fun". "My daughters have trained with the Lish family for over 10 years. They are experienced, enthusiastic and very welcoming." |
