What is Judo?

Judo techniques (waza) are categorized into throwing (nagewaza), grappling (katame-waza), and attacking vital points (atemiwaza). Our Judo classes focus on the first two, which are used in competition, while atemi-waza is practiced for understanding. Judo emphasizes agility, loose and natural movements, and respect.

Frequently asked questions

What age can my child start taking BJJ or Judo classes?

At GUMA, kids can start training in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo as young as four years old. Our classes are tailored to meet the needs of different age groups and skill levels, ensuring your child gets the attention and guidance they need.

Do we need special equipment for the first class?

For your child's first class, comfortable athletic clothing is fine. Once they decide to continue, they'll wear a gi (the traditional uniform for BJJ and Judo) for regular training.

How can I decide if the class is a good fit before committing to a membership?

You can always take advantage of the trial classes. We offer a two-class trial period, which includes Jiu-Jitsu, Striking, and Judo classes. This allows you and the instructors to determine if the program is a good fit before committing to a membership.

What if my child is only interested in Judo or Striking classes?

We offer specialized membership options for kids who want to focus solely on Judo or striking. These tailored plans allow your child to choose the discipline they are most passionate about, helping them grow in the specific martial art that best fits their interests and goals.

Can I sign up multiple kids? Are there family discounts?

Yes, we offer a family membership plan to make it easier for families with multiple children to train together. Our family memberships allow up to three members to join under one plan, making it more convenient and affordable for families who want to experience martial arts together. We also offer a discounted group rate for families or groups larger than three.
