beginner judo program

This beginner course is designed to teach you the basics of judo to prepare for entry into the regular classes.

You’ll attend 1-3x classes per week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and/or Saturdays), where each week’s class(es) will build on what you’ve learned in the previous.

Note: the 4 weeks costs a flat rate, and no additional fees will be incurred by attending multiple class sessions per week. In fact, we encourage it to foster muscle memory and learning through repetition.

Throughout the 4 weeks, you'll learn and practice the following:

• History of Judo
• Judo Etiquette
• Safe Falling Techniques
• Pinning and Turnovers
• Throwing (Takedowns)
• Randori (Sparring)

You'll want to prepare by wearing:

• athletic clothing you can move in (no metal please!) or a gi if you have one
• flip flops, sandals, or slides you can take on and off quickly
• hair up off your shoulders (i.e. in ponytail or bun)

and bring:

• water bottle or sports beverage
• bag for belongings (i.e. phone, jewelry, watches)

Welcome to the dojo!

Check-in at the front desk by giving your name and class type (Beginners Juniors/Adults)

You can place your things in designated cubbies and have a seat in our waiting area. Here early? We have bathrooms, changing areas, and a hydration station to top off your water bottles.
