KIDS JUDO INTEREST LIST

(Ages 5 - 14)

We're exploring bringing our Kids Judo program back to Shuhari Judo! Before adding classes to our schedule, we'd like to gauge community interest. If you'd like your child to participate, join our no-obligation interest list. If enough families are interested, we'll launch a pilot program.

Joining the list does not commit you to registering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be in shape to start?

Not at all. Judo builds functional athletic shape. Beginner blocks allow self-pacing while cultivating core strength and cardiorespiratory endurance parameters.

What should I wear to my first class?

Comfortable athletic wear (track pants/t-shirt) free of metallic zippers or buttons is excellent. We will arrange a structural uniform (Gi) once you complete the trial.

Am I too old to start Judo?

We welcome students starting in their 40s and 50s. Our rigid early prioritization of safe landing mechanics protects your joints and longevity.

Is there striking (punching/kicking) in Judo?

No. Judo is exclusively a clean grappling art prioritizing leverage throws, sweeps, control pins, and submission joints. There is zero head impact striking.
