We believe that Judo should be available to everyone regardless of race, gender, or how much money they have.

Peace of Mind

When you or your child becomes a member of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), it covers your child with insurance in case of injury. 


Best of all if your child plays another sport - they may already be a member of AAU, and then you just need to add Judo to their membership.

Bright and Clean

The pandemic has taught us all to be more diligent in how we clean up before and after ourselves. It is no different for our mats and equipment. They are cleaned before and after every class.


We are currently located at OC Johnson  Elementary School Cafeteria. We would like to thank the Yuma School District for giving us the opportunity to continue to serve the Yuma community in our new home.

Challenge Yourself

All our clinics are designed to bring together members of various dojos for the purpose of broadening their experience of Judo and related topics. 

Besides offering a wider range of instructors than is possible within the dojo setting, national, regional and local clinics and camps provide the opportunity to get to know members of the larger Judo community.
