If you want your kid to learn discipline, become stronger, learn how to protect themself and on top of that have fun, for a very reasonable price - this is the place! Cohen brothers are amazing coaches who love kids and are strict, but just the right amount of strict, thank you! ☺️ Nikita confirms! 😉

Highly recommend. The facility is impressive, there is a consistently high turnout with a good mix of sizes and skill levels which seems to make it easier to pair them up with the right partners, and the coaches are incredible kids' coaches. My kids are new to grappling and love it.

Great family-oriented club. The coaches recognize and see every kid. Warm-ups are very challenging. Kids learn skills very quickly. Good place to surround yours with hard working kids and build relationships for life. Positive community environment.

My son has excelled drastically because of the training and skills he learned at Cohen Brothers Judo. Not only has he grown in the sport, but he has also grown as a person. I highly recommend Cohen Brothers Judo for anyone looking to excel in Judo or wrestling.

My son has been training at Jimmy Pedro’s Judo Center in Wakefield, MA and while visiting our friends in Chicago, I asked Coach Aaron to see if my son could join his class while we were in Chicago. From the moment we walked in, Coach Aaron welcomed us and treated us like old friends. The coaches at this dojo are very experienced, just read their resumes, and the facility is fantastic. The dedication coaches have towards teaching Judo is truly inspiring. On top of that this dojo has a group of supportive and enthusiastic young athletes who welcomed my son. There were around ten kids in my son's age group alone. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in learning Judo. Thank you, Coach Aaron, for making our time in Chicago so much more memorable and for being such a wonderful host. We are looking forward to seeing you and your team in Boston.
