About Kumataka Bayswater Dojo
Kumataka Bayswater Dojo is a traditional Japanese martial arts school in Bayswater, teaching authentic Kodokan Judo alongside the historical art of Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu. The dojo places strong emphasis on genuine lineage, with its jujutsu tradition tracing an unbroken line back to its origins in Japan, offering students a grounded, classical approach to martial arts rather than a commercial fitness experience.
The club is known for a warm, welcoming culture in which newcomers are encouraged from their first session and supported in their own learning and training. Members consistently highlight the dedicated, knowledgeable instruction and the friendly group atmosphere, making it well suited to people seeking both technical depth and a strong sense of community.
Training runs on Monday and Thursday evenings, with judo earlier in the night and jujutsu following, so students can study one discipline or both. Whether you are completely new to grappling arts or an experienced practitioner wanting authentic instruction in a traditional setting, Kumataka Bayswater offers a friendly, no-ego environment in the heart of Bayswater to build skill, fitness and confidence over time.
