Welcome to Judo in Oregon

I would personally like to welcome you to the Olympic Sport of Judo. We are a new club in Northwest Portland and sanctioned by the United States Judo Federation.

Our vision is to create a world-class dojo training those interested in Judo for self-defense, conditioning, as a hobby, or elite competition. Join us and be a groundbreaking part of something fun and exciting.

Whether you have a child who is 7 years old or you just turned 70 yourself, this sport has something for you. Even if you have never practiced a martial art or participated in any sport for that matter, we warmly welcome you. We can get you started with basic stretching and strength training until you feel ready to try something new. The next step could be something as simple as crawling or tumbling on the mat. It’s an amazing workout!

We are a club based on principles. So although we love to compete, self-discipline and respect for each other always come first. Sparring and competition are NOT requirements at our club. Have fun. Some of the best classes I’ve taught were filled with laughter. Some of my most memorable times in my 35 years of practicing judo were spent after class sitting around on the mat hanging out with each other.

I humbly invite you to stop by and visit Portland Judo.
