While most of the judoka that attend this class are more advanced, all levels of adult competitors are welcome. Judoka attending this class can expect an emphasis on drills and conditioning that is meant to build the strength and cardio needed to prepare our athletes to fight in tournaments with ease. We will also cover current IJF competition rules and regulations, as well as the structure of bowing in and competing in matches. Teens need instructor-approval prior to joining this class.

Our earliest morning class! If you’re an early bird, this class is a perfect way to start your morning with some judo. Kata is the practice of pre-arranged sets of judo techniques. While it may be performed at a slower pace, kata is essential for judoka to learn the history and principles behind the throws they perform. You also need it for promotion, so might as well start learning :)

Our judo class just for kids from 5 to 15. Parents can expect our kids’ class to be a space where kids not only learn judo techniques (falling, throwing, and groundwork) but also confidence, respect, and teamwork—the tenets of judo! Older students have the opportunity to gain leadership skills by helping the instructors demonstrate techniques and working with their younger peers.

Our partners at Enso BJJ Portland teach these classes! Please visit their Instagram page here for more detailed information.
