YMCA KL Judo Club

YMCA KL Judo Club offers martial arts and self-defense training in Kuala Lumpur.

The YMCA KL Judo Club has been providing martial arts and self-defense programs in Kuala Lumpur since the 1970s, originally focusing on Judo, Aikido, and Karate before expanding to include a diverse range of disciplines from around the world. The club offers training in Aikido, Judo, Karate Do, Kickboxing, Silambam, and Taekwondo, catering to members of all ages and skill levels. Classes are held at the Lotus Room and Lotus Studio on the ground floor, with schedules varying by discipline and age group, including sessions for beginners and advanced practitioners. Participants must adhere to specific dressing rules, such as wearing a proper uniform for Aikido and Silambam or comfortable sports tracksuits for other arts, and bring their own water bottles. Rates differ based on membership status, with separate fees for junior and adult/associate members, and some disciplines require annual fees paid directly to the national association. Instructors for each discipline are assigned by the club, and grading or exam fees are handled separately through the respective masters. To register for any of these programs, interested parties should contact the Programmes & Youth Department via phone or email.
