Tohoku Judo Club

Great classes and great community. If you’re a beginner, there’s always someone who’s willing to work with you. If you’re a complete beginner, your first couple of classes will be taught by an instructor separate from the rest of the class. Which is great because you get to focus on the little details of judo. Something that stood out to me about Tohoku is that all the instructors are volunteers. Thus making this club very affordable when compared to other martial arts club. Which also makes this less of a business and more of a community.

Very good instructors and very friendly people .they teach you lots of techniques and you find yourself throwing people right and left with perfection .the best thing is that they have free trial and the charge way to cheap compare to the judo place on Wakefield. there are people from around the world Japan.France. etc .I wish they have morning classes for adults .my work schedule sucks…

Tohoku Judo, is a great club. They have a great mix of people from all over the world, as well as a large contingency of students from local colleges, including Harvard, BC, Tufts, BU, Northeastern and MIT. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful — classes are inexpensive, and there’s watermelon after class on Wednesday’s. This is the place to train if you are living in the Boston area.

Getting thrown is like getting a ride on your own personal roller coaster: you lurch forward when you least expect it; you go ass-​up in the air; and then you land – usually on aforementioned ass. (I’ve been given to understand that if you land on someone else’s ass instead of your own, you’re doing it right.) The only deviation from Disney World is the part at the end when your roller coaster operator does her damndest to sit on you.
I found out about Tohoku because I tried a Krav Maga-​based women’s self-​defense course in Medford, which led me to try a Krav Maga class in Watertown, which led me to check out a BJJ class across the street, which led me to meet a woman who runs a dojo in Southie, which led me to meet some of her students who, at the time, were looking for warm bodies to participate at a women’s shiai (read: tournament) at this place in Somerville called Tohoku.
The competition commenced about ten minutes after my first class. I was shaking in my proverbial boots – I had never seen anyone thrown before, and I was supposed to fend that off? Lucky for me, everyone was very welcoming and willing to clarify things on the go.
I’m not an especially outgoing person, so the circuitous social route that landed me at Tohoku required some serious outreach on others’ parts. The folks here really do make a point of trying to reach out and connect with both individuals and other communities.
I don’t go to Tohoku very often; it’s rather far from home, and I’m already in a committed relationship with another martial art. I just visit every now and then when I feel the urge to take part in something that starts looking vaguely like a triple time step and ends looking vaguely like I’ve been arrested for disorderly conduct.
And it’s cheaper than a trip to Disney World.

This is one of the best Judo dojo ever. It has a long list of history and all sensei are world class Judoka. Everyone here is very helpful and willing to help you to learn.
I come down to the dojo and train as much as I can.

i have gone to tohoku and will be back it is the best judo club by far,
they care about you as a person and your judo progression they have very skilled instructors, and offer 5 days a week
