From the reviews

My son began in this amazing family oriented Judo Club. He was about 5, and soon began to win in the kids division. As he grew, he faced some formidable opponents at a state and national level. He won many tournaments, and was ranked in national and state competition. From that, he was asked to join the Olympic team.

The place it practically is empty right now. \(••_)/ No classes, no mats . But trust me when I say that it was awesome. But luckily, there moving to Lakewood. I went there when I was 8 and I lost so much weight in weeks ( I was overweight ) Now 11, I'm still going to attend there.

I've been training at Ogden Judo School for almost 20 years and my children have been attending for the past 5 years. A good family atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!!

★★★★★ — Matt, Aug 2014

I geve it 4 Star ⭐ because I talked to a teacher about teaching a person in a wheelchair and he didn't hesitate to offer yourself I think it's a great place for anyone to take their family kids or disabled people in wheelchairs to learn

Your first judo class at Ogden Judo School

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.
