From the reviews
I been practiced the Judo at Princeton Judo club 19 years, all members and staff are very kind and friendly. I strongly recommend Princeton Judo club for your Judo training.
I came back to judo after more than 20 years, and training at Princeton Judo has made me feel as happy and excited as I was when I was a kid. Sensei Cory has created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy for adults—especially those returning after a long break—to feel comfortable and motivated.
I train BJJ at a distant gym and wanted to round out my skill set with something else. I found out Princeton Judo was just that. Everything from the instruction to the friendly culture is warm and inviting. Adult class gives both the workout and mental discipline to improve yourself both on and off the mat.
We signed our son up for Judo and he reluctantly attended his first class…now 6 months later he’s enthusiastically competed in several tournaments, earned his yellow belt, and says he “can’t believe he didn’t want to do Judo!
Your first judo class at Princeton 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.
