About the academy

Built for beginners.
Serious about technique.

U Champ Judo Academy trains students of every age at our Rhodes dojo, with a program built around fundamentals, discipline, and steady progress through the belt ranks.

Our approach

Three things guide every class we run.

Fundamentals first

Every student, regardless of age, starts with grip, balance, and falling safely before anything else. Speed and competition come later.

Small class sizes

Coaches watch every student's technique closely — kids and adults train in groups sized for real attention, not just a full mat.

A path through the belts

Grading is tied to real progress, not attendance. Students know exactly what they're working toward at every rank.

Who trains here

Our weekly program is split by age and ability, with outdoor training and a dedicated health & fitness class each week.

Kids (Ages 5–12)

Structured, game-based classes that build coordination, discipline and confidence — split by age group so instruction matches ability.

Teens & Adults

Technical classes covering throws, groundwork and competition judo, alongside a dedicated Sunday health & fitness session.
