Excellent school, Master with a capital letter, gets along well with children, strict but fair, always jokes and finds a common language with them. They instill discipline, self-improvement, independence, the desire to be better. My son really likes it, I definitely recommend it
Great Instructors, very patient to make sure you have the techniques in hand before they move on. And then they make you revisit the early techniques taught. Can't ask for anything more. I Love it.
Your first judo class at U.S. KODOKAN FEDERATION
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.
