A yearlong program with five sessions
Judo is an Olympic sport combining throwing and grappling technique with an emphasis on movement, leverage, balance, and skill. It's a genuine cardio workout that builds stamina, strength, and endurance for kids, youth, and adults alike — and it teaches mental toughness, discipline, and self-control alongside self-defense.
South Bay Judo offers four regular sessions during the year, with classes twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Dee Hardison Sports Center in Wilson Park. A fifth Holiday Session is held in November–December for advanced and returning students, with an emphasis on conditioning and competition-focused training.
On the mat
Strong fundamentals. Stronger people.
Students learn how to fall safely, throw with control, work from the ground, and train with respect for every partner. Volunteer instructors guide each class from first steps through competition-level practice.
“It is not important to be better than someone else, but to be better than yesterday.”
