Registration

Introduction

All new participants are invited to attend a single introductory lesson to experience judo firsthand. However, to continue training beyond the introductory lesson, formal registration is mandatory.

All practitioners will be granted a grace period of 14 days from their initial training session to complete the registration or renewal process. Failure to register or renew membership within this timeframe will result in the participant being unable to actively participate in further training sessions and will be limited to observing from the sidelines.
