Fantastic sensei. Great team. Big parking. 5 days of classes per week. Affordable. Here are my 5 reasons for the 5 star review.

Hollywood Judo is a great place to be in every way I could imagine. I quit Judo many years ago to take up BJJ and have noticed over the years that with the commercialization of grappling and/or MMA, the aspect of martial arts that emphasizes respect and mutual benefit has almost altogether disappeared. BJJ gis for instance, cost at least a hundred dollars on average, not to mention that a lot of the practitioners put a whole bunch of patches on their Gis for ornamental and commercial reasons. These things are highly frowned upon in Kodokan Judo, and Hollywood Judo ensures that the purity of the sport is maintained. They also dont charge 200+ dollars a month in membership fees. This dojo truly lives up to the higher goal of mutual benefit with Judo training. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to train martial arts and also develop self-discipline.

Ive been at Hollywood Judo for about six months now, and joining is the best decision Ive made in a long time. Judo is a terrific workout and stress reliever that also helps you develop self-discipline. This dojo combines these qualities of judo with a great atmosphere.The instructors are all top notch and some of the nicest and most encouraging people youll ever meet. The beginners class is will challenge you to improve while still letting you go at your own pace. The members are friendly and supportive, coming from all different backgrounds. its a very international kind of place with members from five continents. There are people who have been doing judo all their lives, and people who started their first martial art at 25, like me. The facilities are clean, kept, and include a workout area off the mat. There is free and plentiful parking in the lot of the Japanese Cultural Center where the dojo is located. The membership fees are almost unbelievably reasonable ($40/month, plus $50/year for USJF membership and $20 donation to the Cultural Center).Best of all, for me at least, is that Hollywood Judo is a very comfortable place to be if youre a woman. Judo is a full contact sport, but its never awkward here. Everyone is respectful, yet you dont feel like youre being treated differently because youre a woman, which is a rare balance to find.I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Great dojo to train at.
