In order for a life to be truly changed from a negative to a positive direction, the body, mind and spirit must be transformed. The program is designed for children, teenagers and young adults, but parents are encouraged to participate. A sliding fee is available for Judo lessons. Drug and violence prevention classes are free to the community. The times will be posted at a later date.
Visitors are welcome.
We teach children how to play the Olympic sport of Judo as it is taught in Japan and Europe. In this way, children learn about winning and losing in a supportive environment that focuses on improving self-esteem and acceptance of others with respect. All classes are taught by nationally ranked black belt instructors using standardized Kodokan Judo instructional criteria. The founder of Judo, Jigoro Kano, was an educator who encouraged academic excellence from his students. Continuing this philosophy, the New Orleans Judo Academy in addition to Sport Judo training, will have a wide range of academic subject on computers .
