Most commonly known as an Olympic sport, the complete art of Kodokan Judo encompasses much more than what's currently allowed in competition. Founded by Kano Jigoro, Kodokan Judo consists of striking techniques, throws, take downs, and grappling techniques. Our training methods equally emphasize kata (forms), randori (free sparring), and tandoku renshu (solo practice), with an extra focus on self defense applications.

We are also the Florida State Headquarters of the Seikan Judo & Jujujtsu Association. The SJJA is committed to preserving the art of Traditional Kodokan Judo as a complete martial art, without an overwhelming emphasis on competition. The essence of this system Kano sensei expressed in the axiom "maximum efficient use of energy", a concept he considered both a cornerstone of martial arts and a principle useful in many aspects of life.

In 2024, our school became a Chartered Club under the United States Judo Association, one of the three major National Governing Bodies for the sport of Judo. While maintaining the entire art of Tradtional Kodokan Judo as a self defense system remains the priority of our training, this membership provides additional opportunities for our students on a national and international level, including having their ranks recognized by the USJA.
