Sensei Pete is a fantastic teacher! He's practiced with my husband for the last 15 years, helping my husband expand his knowledge and love for judo. Sensei Pete now works with my 3 rambunctious kids (5-11) as well has continuing to work with adults like my husband.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Feb 2022

The best place to learn judo in the valley, maybe even the world! It's a real gift to be able to be taught by someone like Pete Sensei who has a long and amazing track record in judo.

Your first judo class at Enso Judo Boise

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.

Judo is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your sensei, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
