📘 strong technique & fundamentals 2 mentions

“However, the senseis (teachers) at LA Judo Club are patient and make sure to help condition your body and learn each technique properly at your own pace.”

From the reviews

LA Judo Club is located in Koreatown and is the only Korean-American judo club in Los Angeles. Anyone who's practiced judo knows the physical and mental challenges judo imposes, and it's not for the light-hearted.

LA Judo Club은 정신과 육체를 성숙하게 만들어 준다. 정신적 훈련을 통하여 타인에 대한 예의와 자신의 내면적인 인내심과 집중력을 배양하고, 육체적 훈련을 통하여 강력한 자기방어력을 향상시키고, 신체적인 강인함과 난관 극복력을 고양시켜 나간다.

Amazing Judo club in Los Angeles. It helps to make professinal Judo athletes. Very hard training Dojo. There are many national #1 Athletes in their category. Making strong network via hard training among Kids for future job and business as well. So blessed being part of this Judo club.

Your first judo class at L.A. Judo Club

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.
