Experience

Classical Kodokan-style judo with a Konan lineage. Kids learn ukemi (falling) first, then standing throws (osoto gari, ippon seoi nage) and ground transitions, with optional tournament participation as they earn higher belts. Kroc Center venue means parents can pair training with other family programming under one roof.
