From the reviews
Judo taught here is what one should consider authentic with aspects of the philosophy, martial art, and sport. Many other martial arts teach bullshido for show or sport alone and are great for fun and to meet others but this club educates its members in the whole package of physical fitness, sport competition, self…
This is an amazing judo school with a quality instructor. All the other students make you feel welcomed too.
I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere as well as the hard training and willingness to help by senior students.
Your first judo class at Sacramento 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.
