Welcome to Pinewood Judo Club

Pinewood Judo Club is one of the most successful Judo Clubs in Europe with an outstanding record of National and International achievements dating back over 58 years. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Club’s success is that, all of its champions are "home grown".

Most of the members have joined the club located in Wokingham as beginners, often as young as 4 years old and have developed under the watchful eye and tuition of the Sensei Don Werner (7th Dan). Pinewood Judo Club is recognised as a "Centre of Excellence" by the British Judo Association and welcomes international visitors to its training sessions. You can read more about the club here.

The Club travels widely throughout the World with both its Junior and Senior Judoka and will be pleased to receive information regarding any future competitions.

The thing that sticks in my mind is who in the world thinks they can take out Waza that Professor Jigaro Kano developed for Judo. For me Judo is the greatest fighting sport in the world. It is a great teacher of skill, self control and mental exercise; as he intended. He developed his ideas and proved them sound, in a world rather reluctant to accept change.
