The classes they run
“Kids' classes are some of the best run kids' activities that I've seen, and many of these youngsters will give me a run for my money if I'm not careful.”
“Normal adult judo classes meet twice a week but once you know your breakfalls there are many additional classes in the mornings and weekends to get extra practice in.”
From the reviews
I have trained at many great clubs including Olymic training centers like the Jason Morris Judo Center, but I think that Bushido Kai is one of the most well-rounded clubs you will find. Whether your are interested in competition or just recreation, you will find solid technique and training here.
I started training here in late 2013, and I don't think I'll ever stop. It's ridiculously inexpensive when compared to other martial arts schools, but the level of expertise is easily worth many times as much. There are lots of other members, so there's no shortage of people to practice with.
Great instructors. Family friendly. My 3 kids and I have been going for a few years and will continue.
Your first judo class at Bushido Kai Judo/Jujitsu 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.
