Authentic Dojo...Superior Training

Aptos Judo Club is unlike typical, cookie cutter “martial arts” schools that can waste valuable practice time with unnecessary lecturing and pep talk. Our students understand the philosophy and high conduct standards of Judo through the respectful relationship with their instructors and through their practice in the dojo and beyond.

Some students join Aptos Judo for the opportunity to learn and compete at high levels in an Olympic sport. Some recognize Judo as a fun and effective way to work out, become stronger and more flexible, while at the same time learning valuable self-defense skills. And there are some who see Judo training as a great way to increase their skills, strength and agility for other demanding sports, like wrestling, soccer, and especially Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions. MMA competitors who have good Judo skills definitely have a real advantage in MMA competition.
