ABOUT OUR JUDO PROGRAM
Our goal is to make the Art and Sport of Judo accessible to all who step on the mat with us - regardless of skill level, fitness level, training focus, age, economic-level or disability.
We operate as a community not-for-profit Judo program. Prior to COVID, we offered both kids and adults classes at our previous locations. We were invited to share space at the Finley Center with the Santa Rosa Judo Club and we would share our judo mats. They have an ongoing adult class series, so we will focus on rebuilding our kids program (6-12) at this time. We plan to add a teens program (13-16) in the future.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We are also a United States Judo Association (USJA) Chartered Club #CA4344.
