From the reviews
i like the cool nice sensei's there. They treat you like family. They are always warm welcoming to new people. Their is a 100 year old bench i like to sit on when i go.
True landmark and given its history it could get called “One of the most important places for American Judo” for the orthodox minded…myself included! I’m going to give them a try very soon but they seem integral from what I’ve researched about the place.
Blessed my kids are a part of this organization. Truly an honor to be around the sensei's and the judo community !
Great place learn and practice judo. Usually a pretty good amount of core juniors and seniors to work with.
Your first judo class at Seattle Judo Dojo Inc
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.
