Our Club Spirit

The JCCC Judo Kai is more than just a judo club: It is a family, in which all of its instructors, students, their siblings and parents are members. Judo classes are not our only activity: We have social get togethers, potluck luncheons, fund raisers, barbeques and more. Also our judo family is part of the larger family that is the JCCC. We actively participate in and support JCCC programs and events. Like other JCCC programs, all of instructors are volunteers. Our Club relies on the help and support of all its members. Throughout the year, our Club hosts a number of events, the assistance of all its members ensures our success.

Our Club’s primary objective is the development of good citizens, with a generous and selfless attitude. We prioritize safety and enjoyment in a positive, encouraging environment. We develop respect, good sportsmanship and courtesy. Mastery of judo technique is a secondary objective: the primary objective is to study judo as a vehicle to develop a better way of life. We stress teaching strong basic fundamental techniques and the principles of Kodokan Judo. Our classes are structured to accommodate all judoka, from the recreational judoka to the elite competitor. A student’s class time can increase as their competence level increases, up to the 4-5 sessions per week for competitive judoka.

In addition, our instructors are always available to consult with students or parents to assist with any issues or concerns (judo related or other).
