SEATTLE JUDO

JUDO / MUAY THAI KICKBOXING / PRO-AM BOXING / COMBAT WRESTLING / JU JITSU

Several of our students were failing when enrolled in other Seattle judo clubs.Then, when they joined us, they became champions.  Classical judo, as taught in all other Seattle judo clubs, encourages mindless repetition of losing skills.  Critical thinking is discouraged through repeated bowing at these clubs, whether to the "dojo," the "tatami," the "sensei," the "kamiza," ("god shelf," a place to hold idols and a picture of Jigoro Kano) or some other Japanese term for a way to insinuate the Shinto religion.  If you want to practice judo as an American in the Seattle area, come to the U.S. Judo Training Center in Renton!

PARENTS: WE ARE THE ONLY SEATTLE JUDO CLUB,THE ONLY WASHINGTON STATE JUDO CLUB, TO PRODUCE TRIPLE CROWN (ALL THREE JUNIOR NATIONAL TITLES) AND GRAND SLAM (TRIPLE CROWN PLUS THE U.S. OPEN) JUDO CHAMPIONS!
