Kuma Judo in Florence

A growing club with a great atmosphere that is welcoming to beginners with no judo experience as well as those who have done judo for years and want to practice more advanced principles and techniques. You will get lots of education on why techniques work the way they do, and it's a very non-threatening place, and I love the vibe. If you're looking to ease into judo, give it a try!

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.
