From the reviews
I have the utmost respect for Master Jeon. His dedication to his students is truly inspiring, and his passion for teaching Taekwondo shines through in every class. Master Jeon not only teaches with great skill and discipline, but also with genuine heart and enthusiasm.
Our daughter is positively glowing after emerging triumphant from her yellow belt test. Thank you Master Jeon and Master Paulo for everything you do to help her succeed.
Master Jeon is absolutely incredible with my daughter. She has been attending Master Jeon’s Tae Kwon Do and Judo programs and enjoys both very much. He has brought out the best in my daughter. He teaches life skills for both inside and outside his studio.
I’m 12 years old and I’ve been going to JJT for 3 years. I think that JJT is one of the best experiences of martial arts there is. I love to get up in the morning and go to class. I strongly recommend this for people who what to feel part of a special community and gain a much higher level of confidence.
New to judo? Start at Team JJT Martial Arts
Team JJT Martial Arts 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 Team JJT Martial Arts
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.
