Judo taught here is what one should consider authentic with aspects of the philosophy, martial art, and sport. Many other martial arts teach bullshido for show or sport alone and are great for fun and to meet others but this club educates its members in the whole package of physical fitness, sport competition, self defense, camaraderie, mental toughness, etiquette, serving others, Japanese language/culture, and hygiene. On top of that, it is very affordable. We've been a lot of places in other sports and extracurriculars and this is by far the best investment. Some items worth knowing... It can get packed on the mats, seating, and parking. If you would like to try judo here, you are required to have or purchase a uniform (judogi ~$60, a great price) and pay for an annual membership to the judo governing body that provides insurance ($50-70 can't remember exactly). Visitors may come and watch but to trial participation in a session or week just doesn't exist without that investment. Before my first child joined, we sat in and watched a couple classes. I'd recommend anyone do that, child or adult.
