Boulder Judo Training Center

Boulder Judo Training Center

Boulder Judo Training Center sits on 28th Street in central Boulder, serving as one of the dedicated judo dojos in the Boulder market alongside Denver Judo and Front Range Judo. The school teaches traditional Kodokan judo for kids and adults, anchored in technique, training, and tradition.

Kids Judo Programs

The center runs kids judo programs alongside adult classes, with belt-rank progression through traditional Kodokan ranks. Programs include:
- Kids Judo (foundational throws, breakfalls, mat etiquette)
- Teen Judo (continued curriculum with randori practice)
- Adult Judo (Kodokan curriculum for older teens and parents)
- Competition pathway for students who want to enter local and regional judo tournaments

What's Included

• Dedicated judo dojo (not BJJ-with-judo)
• Traditional Kodokan curriculum
• Pathway from kids through teen and into adult ranks
• Competition track for tournament-bound students
• Belt-rank progression standardized to Kodokan judo system

Experience

Dedicated judo dojos are increasingly rare as BJJ has dominated the U.S. grappling market. Boulder Judo's standalone focus on Kodokan judo means kids get full traditional throwing-and-grappling instruction rather than judo as a side-class to BJJ. Pattern fits Boulder families that want their child specifically learning judo throws and standing grappling rather than ground-focused BJJ.
