About
Hajime! (Begin!) establishes a strong base of judo technique, culture, and character. Fun tumbling, jumping, and running activities warm us up before we practice our ukemi or falling techniques. Hajime students learn to fall safely, effortlessly, and without discomfort.
Judo allows a smaller person to control an opponent bigger and stronger than themselves. We learn to hold a person down with “kesa-gatame” (scarf hold) and we practice throws where our opponent can be flipped upside down – on Sensei.
Every class finishes with games that develop physical coordination, balance, and laughter. We sing in Japanese about inspiration and bow to each other respectfully. Then we say “arigotoh” (thank you). Respect and discipline are as much a part of Hanabi as smiling.

About
Kids will love the Jiu Jitsu programs at Hanabi Judo in Albany, California. For half a century, this gym has provided Albany and Berkeley families with high-quality Jiu Jitsu programs for all ages and abilities. The gym's goal is to become a healthy and fun part of children's lives with its encouraging, friendly and welcoming environment. From beginning classes and family judo to women’s judo and kata, they offer classes for children and adults alike! Register your child in a pre-judo and beginning judo class where kids will start learning basic Jiu Jitsu moves through movement exercises, tumbling and some simple judo techniques (that are entirely safe!). Once kids advance, they'll learn more advanced skills and movements, and test their technique in a comfortable environment.
