A place to find Judo classes. A Judo directory. Although originally created for Judo...I also include Jiu-Jitsu because they share many similarities.

Why do this?
I like judo and wanted my kids to get involved so I tried to find local places in South Florida (which wasn't always easy). Any location, not only South Florida, could also be added. For example I added the Kodokan, even though few of us will have the opportunity to go there.

What
Basic info is displayed. Name, Address, phone, email and a 500 char discription field is available. Mapquest and/or Yahoo maps can be displayed for your location. A link to your official website can be displayed. Icons are shown for Facebook & Twitter accounts. A small custom Logo can be displayed instead of the generic Judo logo.

Maintenance
I recently [July 2013] went through and removed many entries.How? Google! Many old clubs have faded from existance. In this  Internet age it seems hard to believe that you would find nothing on Google. A further test would be googling the address...usually would return the name of the business.  Furthermore, even if it is a small club you could at least setup a free Facebook entry.

Note
This is just a directory not a recommendation for any of the clubs.

Freestyle Judo is not a different "style" or "system" of judo. Good judo is good judo. The rules of freestyle judo encourage all the skills and strategy of good judo to be used.
