From the reviews
My 6 year old son started learning Judo last August. It's a welcoming dojo, the Senseis (instructors) are very patient with the kids, they make the learning fun yet productive. My son has gained self-confidence, and improved his Judo skills in the past few months. We love it here.
I have practiced judo at this club for almost thirty years and it has always been a great place to learn and improve. Now I'm one of the instructors myself. Come in and check us out.
A wonderful environment for kids to learn Judo, guided by dedicated instructors!
Your first judo class at Portsmouth Judo 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. 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.
