When my daughter attended in first class, she was so nervous that couldn't step on the mat. But she wanted to try the next time. Because the other children of dojo looked so happy to play with falling, running, and crawling.
Since then judo became my daughter's favorite activity. My husband, my son, and I did judo for months. Even we didn't learn many skills, judo is really a good sport, an activity for the family. I think children can exercise while just playing.
Grace always comes with great ideas to play with children. It becomes judo training as well. Rolling and falling are natural movement

Kokushi Midewest Judo provided a positive and active learning environment where my son felt free to be himself while also getting a feel for respect and awareness for others and his teacher. We have recently moved and had to leave the class but would definitely join right back in if we ever moved back and would also highly recommend this class to any child in the area.

My son absolutely loved his time in class. Grace is an amazing instructor, she made sure the classes where fun but challenging. I enjoyed watching the children as they learned. There was never a dull moment. When I asked my son what he would say about his judo classes he said "I would say they were the best."

I trained at this dojo for almost 2 years when I lived in Champaign, and it was of the best training experiences I've had in my martial arts career. Classes were well-run and a lot of fun, and I always got a great workout during practice. Plus, there are sprung floors. This is a top-notch facility with a seasoned, professional coach/sensei. Highly recommended.
