We can’t say enough good things about Carmel Judo in Bloomfield! Our 3 year old started in November and was so shy and scared and had a hard time participating. Coach Natasha was so patient and kind with her, and within a month she was begging to go first during the activities! This has been a wonderful place for our kids to learn patience, respect and self control. I’m grateful our community has this opportunity for such younger kids. It’s never too early to get them involved!

My child is a student at this dojo in the Pups age group. The Senseis and Coaches here do a great job of teaching the young kids techniques and principles of the sport. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming to anyone. I highly recommend these classes that can teach your kids valuable skills for both on and off the mat.

I started with zero martial arts or wrestling experience. It’s been a bit over 4 months now and I cannot express enough about how much I have learned. I’m so glad I took the plunge! The environment here is so welcoming. They are patient and supportive regardless of your experience. I wish I would have started sooner!
