My son has attended FFJ for over 3 years, having previously done judo at primary school with another club. I knew nothing of FFJ prior to his first session with them, but it was the best move he could have made. The club is friendly, welcoming and committed to all that judo stands for. Sam and Vince are good hearted people who have the best interests of all the members at heart. Their personable professionalism is evident in their dealings with both parents and children, and the children respect and value their guidance. My son's confidence and self belief has developed so much since starting with them. I cannot thank Vince, Sam and the FFJ club enough for all they've done and all they do. I can wholeheartedly recommend FFJ.
My sons have benefited enormously from Judo over the past few years with Sam and Vince who have a fantastic, positive and highly inclusive approach. They know each child and it’s been super to see their club grow due to their dedication, the fun class environment they create and the high quality of teaching. Sam and Vince consistently deliver great classes, competitions and events which kids of all abilities absolutely love.
Michelle and I can't speak highly enough of Sam, Vince, and their team. They have given our son such a huge amount of confidence which he was at one point lacking. We are amazed at how he has progressed in one short year and we cant wait to see this continue. Every session you can see how the focus is not only on the skill development of judo itself but on the development of the child both physically and socially. They seem to get this balance just right and can cater for children of all levels of confidence and ability. Its become a big part of our lives now and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyway looking to find a judo club for their child.
I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Both of our children are coached by FFJ at school & club sessions, Vince & Sam are highly experienced, motivated, totally inclusive & definitely child friendly - can't praise them highly enough. You will not find a better environment for your children to learn Judo & experience all the other benefits the sport will teach them.
Really good for kids in my opinion. It has helped my child massively with her confidence and fitness. Instructors help the kids and really take their time to support and develop the kids with a strong positive attitude.
Highly recommend to everyone. My 2 children age 5 and 6 joined Fighting Fitness during lockdown, and have since been attending in person at the Woking site. They both love it. Sam and Vince are both fantastic instructors and are brilliant with the kids who are a mix of shy and confident, and everything in between. The classes are fun and energetic - I would say the best around and I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of starting Judo.
Sam's strength class has been absolutely fabulous. Convenient, fun and funny. We've all laughed AND got stronger. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Sam provides a good and varied class. Exercises can easily be adapted to your ability. The classes are online so easy to fit into a busy life. I highly recommend it.
My son and daughter both go to Judo. They both love it. Their fitness is a lot better and it has given them a lot of confidence. One of their favourite clubs. My son has now been doing this for 3 years so it is not a phase they progress and build on what they have learnt so ensure they keep the kids engaged and progressing
This is a great club - Sam and Vince are great with the kids - constructive and really encouraging. It is great for their confidence. If anything, lock-down has made the club and even stronger community and the live online classes, tutorials videos and support are great. I highly recommend the Fighting Fitness Judo!
Really friendly and welcoming club. Sam and Vince are so dedicated to providing the best judo teaching and experience.
Such a brilliant judo club. Sam & Vince are incredible instructors & so friendly & helpful. My son always looks forward to his class & has great fun each week.
Brilliant classes with fab trainers! Both. Children LOVE their sessions and have great fun whilst learning important skills.
