Founded in 2020 by Head Coach Darren Hawney, Relentless Judo was born from a vision to unite school-based students under one team, fostering camaraderie and excellence.
While judo is an individual sport, we believe it’s the collective support of coaches, teammates, parents, and teachers that transforms effort into triumph—and individuals into a family.
With over 30 years immersed in judo, Darren brings unparalleled expertise to the mat. A former Great Britain competitor, he channels his competitive experience and two decades of coaching into nurturing judokas of all levels.
Alongside his wife, whose lifelong dedication to the sport enriches our club’s culture, Darren has guided hundreds of students, from beginners to national contenders.
Since our founding, Relentless Judo has blossomed into a vibrant hub for enthusiasts of all backgrounds. Our doors are open to first-timers discovering the thrill of judo (many of whom become lifelong devotees!) and seasoned athletes striving to master advanced techniques.
Whether you’re here to learn, compete, or reconnect with the sport, you’ll find a home in our rapidly expanding community.
New to judo? Junior Club Coach Angela Dunn specialises in making fundamentals fun. Through dynamic, interactive lessons, Angela breaks down both the practical and theoretical aspects of judo, ensuring beginners and veterans alike stay motivated. Her playful approach demystifies complex concepts, turning every class into an adventure.
At Relentless Judo, we’re more than a club—we’re a team united by respect, discipline, and joy in the sport. Ready to roll? Step onto the mat and discover what makes our community extraordinary.
When we established the club we knew that Relentless was our name. Relentless in our pursuit of individual goals and dreams. Relentless in training. But our other values are equally important.
We have trust in each other, we trust in the teachings and learnings of judo and its philosophy. We create trust amongst each other on and off the mat.
We have courage to be brave and try new things, to have courage in everything we do.
Grit, it’s more than determination! It our ability to want and do the best we can.
We are open to all, we understand the need to train in other disciplines and other clubs. We are open to all ages and abilities and pride ourselves on offering something for everyone.
