From the reviews
An amazing experience!! A friendly, inviting, place with some of the nicest people I've met, and these people really know their stuff!! A great place to learn Jujitsu, Judo, Tai Chi, or Yoga! Want to learn how to defend yourself in a safe supportive environment? This is it!!! So happy to work out here!!!
A great place to be if you are looking for classic judo, jujitsu, and tai chi training. A no frills place, but the teaching is tops!
Nibukikan Martial Arts Academy has been an incredible experience for my son. From the very first visit, we were genuinely touched by how welcoming and inclusive the entire community was. The atmosphere is warm, supportive, and truly family oriented something that immediately put both of us at ease.
We have only been at Nibukikan for a short time, but I’m blown away by how thoughtful and knowledgeable everyone has been. Sean has demonstrated so much patience and understanding of the kids he works with. He offers reasonable challenges and supports children with clarity of expectations, redirection and also humor.
Your first judo class at Nibukikan Martial Arts Academy
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.
