From the reviews

Great environment and great coaching. Ray is one of my closest friends and his love for wrestling is what makes this club. I tell wrestlers to get work here all the time because not only is he a good coach, but a good person. He is serious about getting better and is a hard working dedicated coach!

★★★★★ — Caio, Oct 2024

The coaching is top tier at Lugo Wrestling Club and I have never had a better performance in my entire wrestling career than when I trained with Lugo Wrestling Club. The atmosphere regarding the team is amazing as well.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Oct 2024

I started wrestling with no experience in August 2023 and 2 years later I’m currently ranked #2 in Floridas 190 weight class none of that would be possible without coach ray Lugos guidance and wisdom, if your willing to work hard and want to be great come here

★★★★★ — Sage, Sep 2025

Ray not only is a great coach but brings the community together. I’ve also been able to see the improvements in both understanding and applying the technique’s he’s taught. Highly Recommended you come train with him.

Your first judo class at LP MMA & Lugo Wrestling 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.
