The Imperial Judo consists of 2 venues.
The main club is referred to as the Imperial Club at Penyrheol Leisure Centre in Gorseinon.
Our Monday night venue is located at St Michaels Church Hall in Manselton.
Both Clubs are run by Senior Coach Phil Craven with the help
of the Assistant Coaches. Jeff Jones retired from Coaching in 2004
to become the Chairman of the Imperial Judo Club.
