The classes they run
From the reviews
I’ve been attending classes here since the start of this year, and transferred after a semester of Judo at Boise State. My experience here has been overwhelmingly positive, despite my extremely unimpressive stature and comparative lack of experience.
I’ve been training at Mushin for about a year after moving to Boise from Iowa. I’ve been doing judo for 40 years and have done judo all over the place. The instructors Josh and Ben are very knowledgeable and effective teachers and even more importantly they are both very kind and friendly people.
Your first judo class at Mushin Judo
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.
