BIG NEWS!
We are proud to announce that Combat Base Wakefield is now an officially affiliated club of the association (BJA) the National Governing Body for Judo in Great Britain.
For our members, that means access to nationally recognised grading pathways, licensed competitions, qualified coaching standards, and the confidence that youâre training in a safe and recognised environment. It also means our club can now be found through the British Judo Club Finder, helping even more people discover judo in Wakefield.
For us, it is a natural step.
Club owners Marc and Emma have spent years competing, coaching and developing athletes across judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and grappling. Becoming a BJA club allows us to combine that experience with the support, standards and opportunities that come with British Judo affiliation.
Whether your goal is fitness, confidence, self-defence, competition or simply learning a new skill, you can now do it as part of an officially recognised British Judo club.
The journey is just getting started.
- Judo for children
- Judo for adults
Beginners always welcome!
Drop us a message if youâve ever thought about giving judo a try.
Most self-defence discussions start with striking, but many real altercations end up in a clinch, a scramble, or on the floor.
In this class, we focused on controlling distance, protecting yourself from strikes, and improving position when youâre underneath someone throwing punches.
No cage fighters. Just ordinary people learning useful skills and having a laugh while doing it.

Our adult and teens classes start from 13yrs old.
One of the benefits of BJJ and Judo, is that it brings people of different ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, together on the same mats.
When teens train alongside adults, theyâre not just learning technique, theyâre learning how to work with people of different ages, experience levels, and perspectives. Adults benefit too. The younger athletes bring energy, creativity, and a pace that keeps everyone sharp.
Of course, it only works when thereâs a culture of respect, and coaches who make smart decisions about training partners. But when itâs done right, everyone grows from it.
Some of the best rounds, conversations, and friendships on the mats happen between people who might never have crossed paths anywhere else. Thatâs one of the things that makes such a special community.

Fab toddler tumble class this morning!
The heat didnât stop training Saturday morning. Instead we took the opportunity to have the kids swap Gi for Nogi.
After learning some technique, they drilled it with a partner before putting their skills to the test in live sparring.
What looks like play is actually developing:
- Balance and coordination
- Problem solving under pressure
- Confidence and resilience
- Respect for training partners
The best part? The smiles didnât disappear.
Great effort from everyone on the mats today.
