★★★★★ — Sandy, Jun 2023

I dropped in for two judo classes the week after Christmas while I was in town visiting. The sensei was very welcoming and seemed happy to have a visitor. The class was 90 minutes and was well structured, either time for warm up, technique review, drill, and randori.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Jan 2024

Best ever judo academy super professional coach my son has been attending to this academy for two years and is national champion 2 years consecutive and I wonder those who has never been in our academy how can they share some false statements trying to minimize the great work of our coaches Abel Fernandez and Oscarito…

Your first judo class at Grappling Arts Jiu-jitsu & Judo LLC

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.
