From the reviews
Great Judo Club! One of the Top Judo Clubs in the country! Sensei Sensei Goltz and Sensei OJ love Judo! They organize 3 yearly tournaments and the biggest Judo tournament in the USA : Winter Nationals. They work hard to promote the art!
Great judo dojo with world renowned Sensei Gary Goltz as the active primary instructor and numerous other exceptional Sensei to assist all ages and levels. Have had our kids, now young adults participating here for 10 years.
First time there last week. Got to meet with Gary Goltz and he gave me some initial training. I do enjoy the fact he was very classy and respectful about everything and gave instructions to a person in a way to understand.
I’ve been training with Gary Goltz and OJ Soler for over 20 years they have 40+ years of experience. This club is perfect for new students old or young. It’s very family oriented and affordable. It’s like a second home to me.
Your first judo class at Goltz 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.
