★★★★★ — Dr, Jun 2021

One of the best Dojos I've trained in. Sensei Alexey is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in teaching this hard to find, traditional martial art. He strikes a great balance between practical knowledge honed by years of training and application, with traditional Japanese concepts/ techniques to create an outstanding…

★★★★★ — Michael, Jul 2022

I have been under Grandmaster Alexey Kunin for many years and have trained through AJJIF international seminars over seas, if you are local who live near the Katabami Ju-Jitsu Dojo then you have a golden ticket to train with the best dojo!.

★★★★★ — Ancient, Jun 2021

I trained with Sensei Alexey Kunin at Katabami Jujitsu for about 5 years earning the rank of second-degree brown belt. This was my second time going through Japanese Jujitsu ranks--I previously had earned a third-degree brown belt at another school before training with Sensei Kunin and started over with Katabami.

Your first judo class at Katabami Ju-Jitsu Dojo, School of Martial Arts and Eastern Healing Arts

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.
