Best Judo schools in United States

Great instructors. Also had a positive experience with freezing membership for a season when other activities conflicted with attending classes.

Super friendly people, very welcoming to all levels, I was just here for one time and they were very generous and let me have a free class. Highly recommend it awesome all round and great technical instructor.

Great place to bond, learn great fighting skills, and truly have an experience like no other. Diego, Roger, and Michael are very proficient and can assist all skill levels. Come and see for yourself!

I started coming here about a year ago and it changed my life. I became a muay thai fanatic and train almost every day. All my coaches have been very high level, many are pros, have fought abroad, have trained abroad and in thailand. Not only that it is a very nice place. The atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly. If you wanna train seriously or just work out regularly and stay fit, while also being surrounded by people you like, I seriously recommend this place.

Roger is amazing teacher and great person. I have been student for years. And recently my 4 year old son started. My son loves it here too.

Roger and Diego both bring a tremendous knowledge base and experience level to every class and know how to coach, train and encourage you to be better, Couldn't ask for a better experience personally. I've been training 3-4 times a week and I can feel an actual difference in my life since joining Williamsburg MMA

The coaching here is excellent and miles above most gyms in the DMV area. I learn something new every time, and the people who train here are actually competing and doing well. Class sizes are great as well. They also have an amazing weight room that is included in the membership.

Amazing classes and strong, supportive culture and community - Professors Roger and Diego, and coach Michael and Dom, are the best around for Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, judo, wrestling, and MMA.

Great place to learn striking, grappling and self-defense. Coach Marco, Coach Greg, and Coach Dave are all fantastic instructors and can work with any skill level. There is a mix of beginner students and competition level students. On top of that it is an excellent facility with lots of space and all the equipment needed. There are classes every day in the evening so lots of options for your schedule. Great gym.

My kid goes here for grappling and striking. He loves it. Roger is patient with the kids, allowing them to have fun but also keeping them focused. Diego is a great instructor as well. My kid could use discipline and focus that comes with training MMA. There is a really great community of people that train here. I plan on starting some Boxing and Muay Thai classes myself. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been training 2-3 times a week at WMMA for just over three years. I highly recommend MMA for its enormous physical and mental benefits. Unlike other workout places, this is a sport that requires you to show up for yourself first and foremost...not because of the money you’ve paid, pressure or guilt from instructors, or even for the other people who train there (though that develops over time.) It is a good community if you can understand that a couple of classes don’t make you a fighter; it’s about the steady, long-term commitment to yourself. Professors Roger and Diego are both excellent teachers. There’s a lot of love and pride at WMMA.

Williamsburg MMA is a great place to train. I had no experience before I started boxing at WMMA almost a year ago. Prof. Roger's instruction is excellent for beginners and advanced members alike, and I'm always leaving class with a new perspective on the sport and my progress. The other great thing about this gym is the community -- members are kind, welcoming and supportive of one another. So much so that I felt comfortable with starting jiu jitsu, which is something I never thought I'd be doing. It's a great, friendly community that I recommend it to anyone in the NYC area looking to learn more about MMA.

I’ve been an active participant of ADULT ALL LEVEL BOXING on a weekly basis for over 6 months. Each class incorporates different combinations and movements while sticking with core fundamentals so you can track progress. Prof Roger is a deligent and effective communicator with admirable leadership qualities. I recommend this school without reservation.

I am 65 years old and have joined Pure Performance gym recently to learn Krav Maga. I find all of the instructors to be competent, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere here is great amongst the students and the instructors. Some of the other students have gone out of their way to advise me. I am encouraged to push myself but not beyond my limitations to a point where I might hurt myself. My wife thinks that I am crazy for taking Krav up at this age but I am feeling more fit already and look forward to meeting my goal of being Level 1 this summer. This gym is clean and the the people here are top notch. They are very flexible with their enrollment fees with no long-term commitment required.

Pure Performance is the best gym my husband and I ever went to! We originally started out on a Groupon, and we loved it so much we decided to get memberships there. The instructors are amazing and the classes are very intense (in a good way). My husband lost about 20 pounds in about 3 months of going to Krav Maga classes. We even made it to level 2 Krav Maga! We HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn self-defense. It also teaches you confidence as well. Everyone who works at the gym is friendly and amazing!

I have been going to this gym since Feb. 2011 and have been very impressed. I enjoy the instructors and the class environment. I also learn from other students when paired up with individuals who have backgrounds in other martial arts. I also love that this gym has a nice array of weight lifting equipment that can be used in between or before and after classes. This allows me to work out when I want even if I don't want to take that particular class. The flexibility offered by this gym allows you to create your own personalized training method that fits your needs.
