From the reviews

I've trained with Os Sensei for about a year and I gotta say I've improved so much both physically and mentally. I'm still new to judo but I gotta say the mentality, the skills, and the physicality I developed through a year made me a better person overall.

★★★★★ — Patrick, Apr 2018

Sensei Osmil Millan is Great! His vast knowledge of jiu-jitsu and judo comes from decades of training and competing. Highly recommended to everyone interested.

★★★★★ — Brian, Feb 2021

If you are looking for a martial art gym for your kids or for yourself, look no further. This is THE place. What makes Judo Jujitsu Madison so special is that we have Sensei Os who has trained at Kodokan where Judo originated in Japan teaches us what Judo is all about.

★★★★★ — Miki, Oct 2025

Sensei Os Milan's judo resume is incredible. One of the few 8th degree black belts in the world, International Coach, International Referee, Olympic experience. More importantly, not only does he have the unique ability to teach highly effective judo, he makes class fun too.

★★★★★ — Eric, Nov 2017

Your first judo class at Judo Ju-jitsu Madison

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.
