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…

More Confidence. More Focus. Get Fit.
