🥋🏅 GRADING DAY AT POWELL JUDO ACADEMY! 🏅🥋
Another fantastic couple of weeks on the mats as our students completed their gradings and showed just how much progress they’ve made.
Every belt is earned through dedication, discipline and learning proper judo techniques—not just turning up, but putting the work in week after week. We’re incredibly proud of every single one of them. 💛🖤
A huge thank you to all of our parents for their support and commitment to the club. Your encouragement makes all the difference.
The future of judo in Leicester is looking bright! 🌟

Real progress is made when you show up, even when the conditions aren’t perfect. Proud of the effort from everyone tonight! 💪☀️

A month ago, Miracle had never stepped onto a judo mat.
Fast forward just a few weeks and he’s fully embraced the challenge, learning new techniques, building confidence and developing skills every session.
Judo isn’t about where you start – it’s about showing up, working hard and improving every day.
Listen to Miracle talk about his experience at Powell Judo Academy 👊

Every great judoka starts with the basics.
Our young champions spend time building strong foundations, learning balance, movement, respect and discipline before anything else.
Getting the basics right today creates confident judoka tomorrow. 🥋
Judo should be fun.
But it should also teach discipline, confidence, resilience and proper technique.
Over the last few months we’ve focused on raising standards, improving development pathways and putting judo back at the heart of every session.
The results speak for themselves.
