The words "Modern Training, Traditional Values" reflect our vision and encompass the judo principles of "mutual welfare and benefit" and "maximum efficiency." Orange County Judo Training Center believes that while training methods can always be improved upon, the traditional values that judo training develops are constant.

Our approach to training is to continually educate ourselves about the latest developments in training and instruction, and employ those developments when they are consistent with the values that have been passed down to us from our heritage in the martial arts. Orange County Judo Training Center is dedicated to providing the highest level of quality judo training.

Sensei Juan creates a fun learning environment. As an adult practioner it is nice to go to a place where competition is encouraged but not the sole purpose of practice. If competition is your speed, there are more than enough skilled judokas should you want to have a more intense experience.

This is an amazing experience for the kids. This place is wonderful. The Sensais are some of the most patient, and kind people I have ever met. The students learn incredibly fast here, and the praise and reinforcement has no equal. My daughter attends here and loves it. The students encourage each other a lot. Give it a try, I think you will like it.

I've trained a lot of places both judo and bjj, I happened to find OC Judo while I was stationed in Camp Pendleton, so not wanting to drive to my own club in LA every time I had off, I googled judo schools near me and I went in and absolutely enjoyed every minute I spent there trained, Sensei Juan is very technical and will break down every technique so you can understand. Very nice and easy going environment with a good competitive side that I enjoyed. I used to drive 1 hour and 30min in dead stop traffic to make it to class that's how much I enjoyed it.

After many years out of Judo, I am very happy to have signed back up at Orange County Judo Training Center (OCJTC) under the head instruction of Sensei Juan Montenegro. What I have always enjoyed about this club is the ability to teach all levels from someone who just wants to learn the art, someone who wants to get in shape, or someone who wants to compete a high national level. The club is full of world class athletes from around the world which brings a very well-rounded set of Judo players. The children's program is also very good and teaches great discipline and technique (always good to learn

My girls have been in Judo for a year now and they love it. The senseis at OC Judo are great with the kids. They teach them discipline, respect, and honor. My girls are excited when we tell them it is time to go to Judo. If you are looking for something for your kids to do that is fun but they are also learning I highly suggest OC Judo.
