"ole school" Judo School
by Judoka at Citysearch
I was looking for "real" Judo practice, not the fake hapkido-judo or bjj-judo stuff! This place fits the bill. No frills tatami and a locker dojo, in your face tell it like it is instructor, sensei Hollis & strong randori (fights) practice. I gave it 4 stars because of that lame excuse for an assistant called Sammy, my dog knows more Judo than he does! He should be in Gitmo somewhere. I heard he is no longer there so I'll be going back soon.
- Pros: Strong workouts
- Cons: bad assistant

JJI is in the Top 10 as far as Martial Arts are concerned! Any person of any background would do well to study here. They even have Judo classes for the visually impaired!
- Pros: Awesome School
- Cons: Dont Know of any
