This place is hands down the best place for BJJ practitioner to get better at throws and takedowns in Los Angeles. Don’t bother with other place for Judo b/c the majority of them don’t teach adults or their class slots are limited.
This place is awesome. I quit Judo many years ago to take up BJJ and noticed over the years that with the commercialization of grappling and MMA, the aspect of martial arts that emphasizes respect and mutual benefit has almost altogether disappeared.
LA Judo Club is located in Koreatown and is the only Korean-American judo club in Los Angeles. Anyone who's practiced judo knows the physical and mental challenges judo imposes, and it's not for the light-hearted.
