Thank you for choosing Martial Art Misfits. We are a group of practicing Judoka with a variety of grappling and Self Defense backgrounds. Between the four of us we have nearly 100 years of active participation in the Martial Arts World.
We hope that you will join us as you embark on your own journey into a world that we all love.
We know starting anything new is always a scary concept but it is our goal to help you embrace that fear and even enjoy it.
Judo is a very special sport as I like to remind my students frequently. It is a sport and way of life but more than that it is one of the few things in life that you can do all over the world where the rules do not change. A dojo will always be a dojo and Judo will always be Judo! There is one other thing that Judo does that I think we can all learn from... you can come to Judo by yourself but without a "friend" on the mat, it simply does not work. You need a strong network around you and people willing to work with you.The principle of Mutual Benefit- the intention to trust and provide mutual assistance for all.
In short... Judo can and will benefit you given the chance. You just have to trust yourself and those around you.
