From the reviews
Absolutely would and do recommend this Dojo to anyone seeking to boost their kids' physical self confidence and strength. We found Sensei Joe's Dojo while looking for Martial Arts practices we could pay through our Homeschool Step Up Scholarship, and were elated to find him as a direct provider!
New Port Richey Judo is an excellent place for anyone looking to start or advance their training in Judo. The facility is well-organized, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a high-quality martial arts experience.
Just moved to Tampa and dropped in for a visit and was looking for a USA Judo sanctioned training facility. Since I’ve been off the mat for a while, Joe and his staff are excellent instructors and training partners. You will learn a great deal and benefit with every visit!
I walked in as a total beginner and felt welcomed immediately. The environment is warm and inviting. Your skills grow at a ridiculously fast rate. This is hands down the best dojo I've been to to train in jiu jitsu and judo! If you aren't here you are missing out.
New to BJJ? Start at New Port Richey Judo Jujitsu Dojo
New Port Richey Judo Jujitsu Dojo comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at New Port Richey Judo Jujitsu Dojo
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
