From the reviews
My son has been with Blue Line Judo since May of 2016. Janna Van Witbeck is an amazing coach. She challenges her students but keeps it fun. Her students train hard. If you are looking to try a sport that pushes you, helps build confidence and sportsmanship, then this may be for you.
My sons have been training at Blue Line Judo since it opened. In that time they have competed and medaled in dozens of tournaments, both regional and national. Coach Janna consistently demonstrates her ability to work with kids and help achieve their dreams. The benefits even outside of judo skills are obvious.
I hav been at Blue Line Judo for almost four years. As a female athlete, Coach Janna is not only a fantastic coach, but an amazing role model. She treats you like family and I feel appreciated here. She will find your strong points and make them stronger, and find your weak points and strengthen them.
My oldest son and I have trained at Blue Line Judo for over three years and my youngest son is just getting started. One reason that we have stayed with Blue Line over this time is the contagious nature of Coach Janna's love of Judo, but there are several other reasons.
Your first judo class at Blue Line Judo
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.
