From the reviews
This is an amazing place to get your kiddos involved. The coaches are awesome, the facility is nice, and both of my kids truly enjoy it. My daughter competed in a meet 2 weeks after joining and won her first medal.
Two full-sized competition tatamis; separate men's and women's dressing rooms; large, spacious, and clean; with lots of judokas having a good time learning--Jefferson City Judo Club is one of the finest dojos I've ever had the pleasure in which to train!
The Jefferson City judo club and jujitsu is an amazing place for people of all ages to learn, grow, and share friendship and community bonds. Leadership at the club treats everyone like a trusted friend and family member. The dedication, support, and mentorship exceeds expectations.
Sensei Josh and all the other Sensei/instructors are fantastic with the kids! The amount of patience that I witness each week from them is phenomenal. My son started off not knowing anything but after a couple months you can tell he’s learning and he absolutely loves going.
Your first judo class at Jefferson City Judo Club & Jujitsu
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.
