From the reviews
Initially we were only going to sign up one of our children, but after seeing the quality of the program we decide to sign up both children. They have grown immensely in confidence and have learned skills and abilities that will help them to defend themselves in a safe way.
I have been training at Okuri Judo since 2018 and have greatly enjoyed the experience. Sensei Mesa is a wonderful, thoughtful instructor who cares deeply for her students. I would highly encourage anyone to check out this club.
Atmosphere is great. Very talented sensei. It’s almost like they’re my parent because of how close we are. Greatly recommend and would give 6 stars if I could.
This is an excellent Judo dojo. Traditional values are prized. There is a good mix of shiai and Kata. There is also a good array of partners to roll with. The skills levels vary, and the body types vary as well. Sensei Mesa is great with kids.
Your first judo class at Okuri 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.
