I went to a judo seminar at Red River Judo - being a jiujitsu person I was a little nervous (bjj purple belt, but never had a judo class). All the people were SO welcoming, friendly and helpful. The seminar was incredible and I had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Red River Judo for a safe, family-friendly, and high-level place to train (I mean, the seminar was with Shintaro Higashi, for goodness sakes!) I'm a small lady, and felt super safe and welcomed. Great place!!
