Ogden Judo School - Training

The dojo is equipped with two regulation size tatamis (mats) constructed of canvas and sawdust. Much of the training is performed in group settings with all ranks practicing in groups within the same large room.

Practice starts promptly at 7:00 p.m., Monday, Wednesday.  During the week, warm-up lasts approximately half an hour and techniques are practiced for the following 45 to 60 minutes. Between 8:15 and 8:30 p.m. refereed contesting begins and lasts approximately 30 minutes. Class is typically dismissed before 9:00 p.m. and for the following 30 minutes, free practice is allowed for those who wish to remain.

Typically, there are two or more black belts in attendance which give every student an opportunity to approach an expert for advice or opinion while practicing. Younger students are monitored closely by instructors and good sportsmanship and fair play is always the rule of the day.
