From the reviews
Just started taking classes here for Aikido. This is a great dojo with the best floor I've ever been on for training. The general feel is very laid back and inviting with still keeping a traditional aura. The people that I've met so far have also been very pleasant and eager to teach and learn.
Love this place. Great techniques taught by even better people. Super fun learning the judo throws and grappling.
You will not find a better dojo in the state of Oklahoma. Classes are both welcoming and instructive. I've just completed my first month of Judo and I can safely say that it's some of the best martial arts instruction I've ever received.
If it's important to you to study martial arts at a dojo that functions more like a school than a gym while still getting a decent workout, then this is the place for you.
New to judo? Start at Windsong Dojo
Windsong Dojo comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. 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 Windsong Dojo
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.
