JUDO

I have been looking for months for a judo club. There's a federation here but when i contacted them they couldnt really tell me where i could find a club for my son. It seems that judo is taught here in schools but only for qataris! There must be a club somewhere in Doha that accepts non qataris.

Does anyone know of a judo club, my son is 5 years old.

thanks

Dottymum,

Sorry for the late reply. I teach judo at a school, and no, your child is too small for my club because five years old is the bare minimum to start judo; otherwise, the judo club becomes a day care. I would start with the Qatari Judo Federation. They seem to be pretty good with the kids. I haven't worked out with the adult players, because they are always training elsewhere. But the few times I've gone to visit them, there were kids working out. Tunisians are the instructors, and if your game to learn (or already know) French, I would enroll them in their program. They seem very qualified. It's an Arabic/French class at one of the local sports clubs around the Dafna area. Let me know, and I can try to get you contacted with the right people.

Good Day!

Finally I found a Judo Club that started accordingly more than a year ago.

The Dojo is under umbrella of the KARATE ACADEMY in Al Sadd Area near to

Jarir Book Store and Doha Clinic Hospital.

The Timing of the practice is SUN-TUES-THURS at 18:30-19:45 under Coach

Saeed who is a former Qatar Olympic player for 12yrs.

If you are interested you can contact these nos: 4421142

or 5220806.

Enjoy the art of Judo.

Good Luck.

Thanks for re-opening this question.

NO! There is no private JUDO clubs except the federations without proper motivations for their players.

The closes thing that I saw is the one near to Frinje Naseer area. It is Jujitsu Club. As you know Jujitsu is the first cousin of JUDO.

I think I will enroll there, cause I am become rusty as days passby.

They are open in the evening.

There are few martial arts centres here in Doha. There is one behind Ramada Hotel and at the back of Mega mart,

there is also one opposite the Jarrir book shop
