My child has been going to Sakura Judo for the past year and we love how the senseis teach discipline, technique, and respect. They are so good with the kids and you can tell the kids are having fun while learning. I can also see how the kids support each other and build each other up, creating a friendly environment that my son has been thriving and growing in. I wholeheartedly recommend this dojo if you’re looking for a place to have your children enjoy learning judo!

What a gem I discovered! I looked at a few martial art schools for my daughter (and myself) and Sakura Judo is the best. It has a family-friendly atmosphere and the instructors have amazing patience with kids. My daughter often needs extra attention and the instructors are understanding and helpful with that. The kids have a great time and my only regret is not starting her sooner.

My both kids 5 years old boy and 10 years old girl love to go to Sakura Judo for judo and chess classes. Sensei Dimitriy is one of the best children's coach I have ever seen, he keeps reasonable balance between games, exercises and practice taking into account the specifics of all participants. Kids are always involved and enjoy the lessons.
