Programs
No prior experience is required. However, students interested in competition programs must meet basic physical fitness standards and show an ability to follow instructions to qualify for enrollment.
Our judo programs cater to juniors and teens (ages 8-17), as well as adults (18+), offering competitive training for teens and both recreational and competitive options for adults. Students will be expected to adopt judo’s moral principles, with an emphasis on respect, self-control, modesty, and friendship.
Competitive Judo
In the competitive program, students will be expected to compete and practice regularly and will be encouraged to visit other judo dojos for joint practices. Our focus is on each student’s growth and success.
Students will learn:
- Safe falling techniques, known as ukemi.
- To build and maintain essential athletic skills, including strength, speed, and flexibility.
- Master foundational judo skills like footwork, gripping, and off-balancing, forming a base for advanced takedown techniques.
- Develop proficiency in executing standard judo takedowns, with competition-focused variations as students advance.
- Progress toward the next belt promotion, reflecting growth and dedication as a judo athlete.
Recreational Judo
The recreational program is designed for students who want to set and achieve personal training goals. These may include enhancing health, progressing toward the next belt level for teaching credentials, or building connections within the judo community. The training structure mirrors that of the competitive team but is typically less intense, with each member following a personalized training plan.

Promotions
Promotions at Kogi Dojo take place every July and November. There is no additional charge for promotions below Shodan (1st-degree black belt). While Kogi Dojo instructors are responsible for recommending candidates for black belt promotions, these are overseen by the United States Judo Federation (USJF) or USA Judo, which charge fees for examinations and administrative processing.
