Kuma Judo
About the Business
Kuma Judo is a health institution located at 30 North Maple Street in Northampton, Massachusetts, United States. Since the 1980s, our dojo has been providing a safe and enjoyable space for individuals of all ages and genders. Our team of instructors is dedicated to promoting the benefits of Kodokan Judo, offering a great workout while also boosting self-confidence and teaching essential self-defense skills.
Membership at Kuma Judo costs $30 per month, plus membership in the United States Judo Federation. The first hour of class is open to younger teens, with advanced training in the second half requiring an invitation from Sensei and permission from parents.
For children, most develop the necessary motor skills for Judo by age 5. Our website features videos of world-class competitors, though beginners at Kuma Judo will start at a different level and progress at their own pace. Not everyone aims to be a competitor, so we offer two paths to black belt: one for non-competitors and one for competitors. Our youth class focuses on instilling Judo principles, skills, and confidence in a fun and exciting environment.

Reviews
"Great students and great instruction from Sensei Lally, who is a true gem of a Judo teacher. If you want to learn strong, practical martial arts in a positive environment this is your home."
"This is a great place to learn judo, whether you are just starting out or have been training for years. The sensei takes great care to teach safe, effective technique and approaches each student as an individual. The dojo is a non-profit, and therefore very affordable."
"Sensei Lally & his fellow teachers are longtime instructors for decades who are great with all ages and genders, working patiently to teach basics to beginners, while challenging experts to grow in "the gentle art" of Judo. The importance of learning how to fall, testing our bodies limitations, how to maintain your balance & how to disrupt others balance is an important life skill in many situations. The club is EXTREMELY affordable, safe and fun! Highly recommend"
"Good Judo club and very affordable. The instructor is patient and knowledgeable, and there are multiple lifelong practitioners eager to help newcomers learn."
