Judo Talk is back. Join Vince Skillcorn (The Judo Coach) and Aaron Turner as they sit down like two mates in a pub to talk about the world of judo — the good, the bad, and everything in between.
Each episode covers what's happening in GB and world judo: standout results, upcoming events, techniques worth talking about, and honest takes on the rules, policies, and decisions shaping the sport. We also get into the business side of judo — practical ideas for growing your club, filling your mats, and building something that lasts — plus guests from every walk of judo life, from grassroots coaches to elite competitors.
Expect real opinions and the odd disagreement. We won't always see eye to eye, and that's the point. No echo chambers, no tearing anyone down for the sake of it — just two people who love the sport, want to see it thrive, and aren't afraid to say what they think.
New episodes every two weeks. Pull up a chair.
