From the reviews
After visiting 4 different studios around Joplin/Webb City we found our favorite one! Teachers Brandon and Amber are both so amazing! Our son loves it there and so do we. We have set and watched many classes and the interaction between the teachers and the kids is amazing!
We love Joplin Judo!! My 10 year old son started a few months ago! Both Ambers (coaches) are great!! We are so happy to be a part of this family!! It is so affordable and they are so welcoming!
Great atmosphere and world-class instructors. Amber is amazing with the kids' classes! Extremely patient while still being firm and setting reasonable expectations.
Amazing dojo and people, especially the owner/sensei. world class training from a world class competitor
Your first judo class at Joplin Judo And Jujitsu, 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.
