Which national organization are you guys affiliated with?

On a national level, we're primarily affiliated with USJF, but we're also affiliated with USA Judo. On a local level, we're affiliated with Ohio Judo, Inc., and one of our instructors is the treasurer of that organization.

It seems like you might have dealt with some clubs that claim that they teach Judo, but it's really some guy who used to wrestle or claims to know some throws. Our club and instructors have gone through the proper training and formalities to be officially recognized in Judo.

We have class on Saturday. You're welcome to check it out.

Hey Alex, I recognized you on the website. Just asking standard question for Bullshido. Glad to see you still training.

Djc,

There are two true Judo schools in the area, MaxOut Sports, which is in Beford Heights, which is a little less than half an hour from Berea, and Chu To Bu West in Avon, which is a little more than half an hour away. By "true Judo schools", I mean that the instructors are recognized by USJF and USJA and hold proper certifications as opposed to someone who know a few throws, pins, and arm bars.
