Ares Judo

Elevating the Fight Game in the UK
In just over a year, Ares Judo has gone from a bold idea to one of the most exciting developments in British judo. Founded by Joe and Aaron, Ares was created with a clear mission: to elevate the sport, create unforgettable competition experiences, and give back to the community that makes judo what it is.
Named after the God of War, Ares represents intensity, passion, and spectacle - and that’s exactly what it delivers.
From the outset, Ares hasn’t aimed to simply run competitions. Instead, it has focused on transforming them. By blending high-level judo with professional production - lighting, music, visuals, and an electric atmosphere. The result is an experience that excites athletes, engages spectators, and brings fresh energy into the UK judo scene.
At its core, Ares is driven by purpose. It’s about improving the sport, supporting athletes, and building something bigger than any one individual. The emphasis has always been on community - creating opportunities, raising standards, and pushing British judo forward together. That vision continues to grow stronger with every event.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values

At Fighting Films, we’re proud to be part of that journey.
Our partnership with Ares Judo is rooted in a shared commitment to supporting and growing the sport. From providing judogis to producing promotional content, livestreaming matches, and designing event visuals, we work closely with Ares to help bring their vision to life.
These events are more than competitions - they’re a showcase of what judo can become. We’re incredibly proud to contribute to that, and we remain committed to supporting Ares as they continue to raise the bar for British judo.
The Ares Premiership 2026
Following the success of last year’s inaugural season, the Ares Premiership returns in 2026 - bigger, sharper, and even more exciting.
📍 Location: Wycombe Judo Centre, High Wycombe, England
📅 Dates: Saturday 30 May
⏰ Time: 11:00
This year sees the return of the Top 8 competitors, all battling it out for the Ares title. With elite talent on display, the level of competition promises to be exceptional from start to finish.
If last year is anything to go by, fans are in for something special. The 2025 Premiership delivered a thrilling finale, with Camberley Judo Club crowned champions after an intense showdown that showcased both skill and heart.
For 2026, Ares is building on that success. Expect the signature elements that define the brand - dramatic lighting, powerful music, and a high-energy atmosphere - alongside new additions designed to take the experience even further.

Looking Ahead
Ares Judo has already made a significant impact in a short space of time, but this feels like just the beginning. With a clear vision, a passionate team, and a growing community behind it, the future looks incredibly bright.
And if the 2026 Premiership is anything to go by, that future is going to be something special.
