Judo is the Olympic throwing sport. You use your opponent's balance against them, put them on the ground, and often carry on with a pin, a choke or an arm lock. Norwegian judo clubs sit under the national judo federation and usually run classes for both children and adults.
22 clubs across 18 Norwegian towns have judo on the schedule. All of them say so on their own pages — none are inferred. The clubs that publish a price sit at 349–4000 kr a month.
A judo class opens with breakfalls, ukemi, before throws are drilled in pairs and finished with randori, which is free practice. Learning to fall safely is the first thing you take away, and that skill is worth something well beyond the mat.
Norwegian judo clubs sit under the national judo federation, with a shared grading system and competition calendar. Judo is one of the biggest martial arts for children in Norway, and most clubs take entrants from age five or six. The uniform is bought through the club and usually costs 500 to 900 kroner.

Addresses and prices are read automatically off the clubs' websites, and the organisation number is matched automatically against the Norwegian company register. All of it may be wrong, outdated, for a different class (kids, student, family), or for a different legal entity than the one running the training. The price is usually an adult membership, excluding joining fees and licences. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
Most Norwegian judo clubs take children from five or six, and the classes follow the national rules for youth sport: play, breakfalls and throws without hard competition.
You learn to fall before you learn to throw, which is precisely why injury rates stay low. The most common complaints are fingers and shoulders.
Judo clubs are sports associations, and fees often sit below commercial centres, typically 1,500 to 4,000 kroner a year, plus the uniform.
