From the reviews
If you like to learn judo or your kid like to enjoy sport with philosophy and tradition, I recommend sensei Lopez. Great experance, knowledge and patience to train others. He understand gentler judo than jujitsu like noboy else ... enjoy this beautiful sport and way sensei Lopez trains.
I have been practicing in Barrington Judo for one year and I can say that there is no other place like this in the all Chicago area...verry friendly environment +top notch instructions ( Sensei). Just try it and I'm sure you going to love this place like i do.
One of few places where parents and children can do serious martial arts training at the same time. My kids and I have been coming here for about half a year three times a week and have loved it. Each day of the week has a different coach(es) with different styles and emphases.
The club is just like home for my son. He has grown up here. It is a place where people of all ages and nationalities can enjoy practicing Judo. Both senseis(coaches) and students respect each other.
Your first judo class at Barrington Judo Club
Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
