Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to start?
No. Beginners are welcome every week. We introduce fundamentals step by step and pair you with appropriate training partners.
What should I bring for my free class?
Comfortable athletic clothes if you prefer to observe first; otherwise we provide a clean loaner gi for your trial class. Arrive a few minutes early.
Is judo safe for kids?
We emphasize controlled drilling, safe falling, and respect on the mat. Competition is optional and always matched to age and experience.
How is this different from BJJ-only gyms?
You train throws and standing grappling alongside ground work. Our Kosen-style track keeps guard and leg entanglements in the curriculum while still building classic judo foundations.
