Craig Barlow

1st Dan

Craig's first experience of Judo was at secondary school. Work and a young family meant he didn't return to Judo until he joined Kitsune Gari in 2004.

Since then, he has become a passionate advocate for the deeper philosophy of the sport.

Dedicated to the study of Judo’s core values and principles, he is committed to teaching the theory and values, as well as the practical application of the art, to promote lifelong health and fitness.

Today, he is a cornerstone of our coaching team, working with both our juniors and adults, with a specialised interest in working with neurodivergent individuals.

He is committed to using Judo as a powerful tool for building self-esteem, confidence, and resilience in every student he teaches.
