GETTING STARTED

Getting Started in Judo is easy, no special clothes are required (sweats are suggested). Show up to one of the practices, fill out  our application and waiver and get on the mat. The instructors will teach you safe falling, newaza (matwork), and tachiwaza (standing) techniques. SOUTH HILLS JUDO CLUB specializes in teaching beginners.  Most of our club members started off in the same spot you are now.

Remember to take it slow in the begining, it is not required that our members perfom every task and exercise, do what you are comfortable with.

Note on Kids Classes:
Parents often ask what age a child needs to be to begin judo. every kid is different, but a safe guideline would be 6 yrs old.
