  • Promotion testing through colored belts

  • Competition coaching for those who want to compete

Experience

National-level USA Judo coaching is unusual for a mid-size market - kids who want serious judo development have access to expertise typically found in larger metros. Younger kids learn ukemi (falling) first, then standing throws (osoto gari, ippon seoi nage) and ground transitions; older kids drill technique and randori under supervision with optional shiai for kids who want to compete.
