WHAT TO WEAR
Bring a gi if you have one. Otherwise, wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes with no hard (metal or plastic) parts. We usually have a few loaner gis for you too. We have a discount program for Fuji and other gis through Hatashita Sports.
DUES AND FEES
Students new to Judo are invited to come for a trial class or two. Students support the operation of DC Judo through a class pass system. Visiting judoka can attend class with a drop in fee. Scholarship support is available in cases of financial need. Don’t let finances stand in the way of you trying Judo.
Students who are interested in pursuing a practical study of Judo are encouraged to join the DC Judo Club as part of the United States Judo Federation (USJF). USJF membership costs $50 annually and includes supplementary insurance coverage for your Judo practices, clinics, and competition events. USJF membership qualifies you for Student Membership in DC Judo.
Our mats are not quite as crowded as 100 years ago
