Welcome to North Jersey Judo specializing in Martial Arts and Fitness

What is Judo?

Judo is a grappling martial art similar to jiu-jitsu, but does NOT involve punching or kicking.  Judo places emphasis on throws, pins, and submission holds such as strangles (+13 yrs only) and arm locks (+17 years only).  From a standing position involves techniques that allow you to lift and throw you or opponents onto their backs.  On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin opponents down to the ground, control them and apply various choke holds or joint locks until submission.




What can Judo do for a Child? 

Judo for children improves school grades, self discipline, self esteem, behavior at home, overcoming shyness, self-control, fitness, coordination, flexibility, listening skills and most important mannerisms.

What can Judo do for Adults? 

Improves your health, instills positive attitudes, develops self confidence, helps you lose weight and teaches self-defense.

We offer classes based on age & skill level. PeeWees/Juniors 4-12, Adult and Teen classes start at 13 years old. The lessons are further divided into beginner, intermediate & advanced. The same principle applies to the adult program. Students of North Jersey Judo will benefit by our systematic teaching approach. There is a set curriculum for promotion. Students start with fundamental techniques. As a student progresses, the movements become more sophisticated. The lessons aren't random. The curriculum helps the students understand exactly what is required.
