Anchorage Dojo is a wonderful traditional judo gym. There are 10 excellent, qualified, black belts training there now. The kids classes are fun and engaging for the kids, and they let the parents train with their children if they want. The adult classes are top tier with their fitness regimen, drilling, and sparring for those who want to compete. I highly recommend Anchorage Dojo for all your martial arts, throwing needs.

Just dropped by for one-day try. Mark is an excellent sensei(Instructor). He knows how to teach. This Judo club is a little bit away from downtown and a daily small rented place. It's location and facility quality should be improved to gather more students.
