Quick answers before you book

Start with safety, not pressure.

Do I need to be in shape?

No. Start where you are. Judo can build fitness gradually through movement, balance, and controlled partner practice.

Will I get hurt?

Judo has risk, but beginners should first learn falling, tapping, spacing, and partner safety before harder throwing or sparring.

Is this the same as BJJ?

No. Judo starts more from standing throws and takedowns, then continues into pins, escapes, submissions, and groundwork. BJJ usually spends more time starting on the ground.

What about price and schedule?

Your trial includes three free classes to be completed within 14 days of your first attended class. If you continue afterward, membership is $75 per month with a 12-month agreement. Membership terms are governed by the written agreement.
