Everyone at this judo center are very friendly, I just finished a 42 day challenge here and loved it! I will definitely be coming here more! I find that it's a fun way to stay in shape and the instructors are great and will help you if there's something your not understanding, they also make sure that everyone stays safe. It's perfect for beginners or people who have been doing judo for a while and I would highly recommend checking out this place if your interested!

I did the 42 day warrior challenge here and had a great experience! If you’re looking to lose some weight while learning a martial art this is the BEST place to do so. Eric is a great instructor and works with you, even if you have no martial arts experience prior to starting the class (like me). I would recommend this program to anyone looking to lose weight, learn Judo, and gain confidence. Also, did I mention it’s free??

I highly recommend Judo of Lancaster. Sensei Eric is a wonderful instructor for children and very patient with all ability levels . My son has ADHD and Sensei Eric shoes him the patience and firmness that is needed.

Our 6 year old son goes to Judo Center of Lancaster twice a week and he loves there. The instructors are very nice and give plenty attention to the kids. I can tell my son is getting stronger and more confident now.

Oh, where do I begin?? I will have to speak about Eric and the Judo Center of Lancaster from a mother’s perspective. I have an awesome kid (of course!No bias here lol ) who is crazy smart, kind, creative, painfully shy and also passive (only because he needed to find just a little bit more confidence). This was especially true around other boys who got enjoyment bullying the shy ones. My boy is not small (understatement) but despite his size, he was intimidated. He was picked on. That’s when I went looking for a solution and came across an ad for the Judo Center.
I easily made an appointment and came in to speak to Sensei Eric. I immediately knew I had a mommy win (I’ll take as many as I can!). My son immediately agreed to “try it out”. I knew all sports would be beneficial but bringing him here exceeded my hopes and expectations. After only 4-5 weeks my child was more confident and to my EXTREME joy, he stood up to his bully and did so in a way I was proud of, with quiet strength and dignity. I KNOW he was able to do that because of what he has learned here, not just about Judo… but about himself. We won’t ever forget this experience and I strongly recommend that anyone in my shoes (especially if you’re a single mom like me!), give it a try. Go for a win…
Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.
Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.
Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.
Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.
No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
More Confidence. More Focus. Get Fit.
