From the reviews
After moving to Reno, I searched for a long time to find a martial arts school or training program that felt just right for me. The Reno Judo Club was everything I could have hoped for and more.
My son has been coming here for months and it’s one of his favorite places to go. The tradition and work ethic is amazing here. Each Sensei instructor goes above and beyond for all student adults and kids. Everyone is welcome here. Enjoy watching my sons journey here very good place.
I’ve been training at Reno Judo Club for two years now and have had a great experience. The dojo has a large training space and a really welcoming group of people.
I have recently joined the Reno Judo club and have been working out. This is my first time doing Judo. It is a welcoming place for anyone starting out. Judo is an excellent workout for physical training for your health and for learning defense techniques.
New to judo? Start at Reno Judo Club
Reno Judo Club comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never stepped on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and sensei scale the intensity to you. Second, you'll start by learning to fall safely (ukemi) — reputable dojos build fundamentals (breakfalls, grips, a first throw and some groundwork) for weeks, live randori eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps everyone safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and remember to bow in and show respect (rei). Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first judo class at Reno 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 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.
