The Basics

Ages, Schedule & What To Expect

Kids Judo at Genesis is built for a wide range of ages and skill levels, all training together in a structured, respectful class.

4–17

Who It's For

Our Kids Judo program welcomes students ages 4 through 17, grouped and coached appropriately by age and experience so younger beginners and older students both get what they need.

What They Wear

Judo is trained in the traditional Gi. First-timers don't need to own one — we'll get your child set up with a loaner for their free trial class.

No Experience

Getting Started

No prior martial arts background is required. Coaches walk every new student through the basics — stance, falling safely, and their first throws — from day one.
