When we
train.
Wheatpieces Community Centre, Tewkesbury GL20 7SP. Free parking. Arrive ten minutes early in gym kit with a bottle of water — that's the entire kit list.
What each
night is.
Same syllabus, different emphasis. Most members pick two nights and build from there. Short on time? See how training fits around a busy week.
Tuesday 6.30pm
Beginners Only
One hour, 6.30pm to 7.30pm, with nobody senior on the mat. Slower pace, small numbers, and the TJK self-defence syllabus taught from the very first step. Beginners, white belts and yellow belts only.
£8 · Book
Tuesday 7.30pm
Advanced Class
An hour and a half. The first hour is syllabus and fundamentals — the graded material everyone works through. The last half hour, 8.30 to 9pm, is open training: train what you like, or take the sport side with sparring, randori and rounds. Staying on from the beginners class? Both classes are £10, once you hold your white belt red stripe.
£8, or £10 for both · Book
Sunday
Mixed Class
The same mix as Thursday, at the weekend. Open mat available for higher grades and anyone training more than twice a week. A good one to start on if weeknights are difficult.
£8 · Book
Sunday
Ladies Area
A women-only mat area running inside the Sunday class, led by Sensei Gemma, 2nd Dan Jujutsu. All levels and abilities, practical personal safety, and a space to ask anything. Pay at class.
