The Club
Cluarankwai Judo Club (Kilmarnock) is one of the oldest clubs in Scotland having formed in 1949. We are a not-for-profit organisation, any funding we receive goes back into improving the club for our members.
We have the highest number of qualified Club Coaches in Scotland at UKCC Level 1 and 2. Our classes run 4 times per week for Juniors and 2 times per week for Seniors, and we currently have over 100 active Junior & Senior members.
The club has had many special guests & visitors over the years who have come from all over the world. This has included World Champions, Olympic Medalists, and some of the best coaches that the world has to offer.
The Dojo
The club built an extension onto the original Dojo building in 2006 which was re-opened by Kisaburo Watanabe 8th Dan.
We have the largest purpose built Dojo in Scotland and some of the best facilities in the UK. The Dojo is used for local and national events throughout the year and its facilities are used by other sports for training and seminars.
There is a double mat area with seating, two large changing areas for women and men, and a private gym for cardio and strength training.
We welcome everyone to visit and train at our club, one of the best and safest Judo training facilities in the UK.
