Judo is sweet... my takedowns need some work, so maybe someday...
I'll probably get my kids into it as their first martial art, and teach them BJJ myself.

And you would have been CHOKED if you didn't attend this school the Takahashi clan does indeed put out some top notch Judo players.

Judo also has weapon disarms!

Hey Guys, I'm looking at going to U of O next year and would LOOOOVE to train at Takahashi dojo. I'm currently at UWO and Ray Takahashi is our wrestling coach, and man is that guy fantastic.

I wanted to ask though, how big are their classes? What's the student to instructor ratio?

there are 15 to 30 people per class. But on Mondays there is only 4 of us. If you really want to learn come on Monday.

Sweet! That's a lot smaller than I had thought. I will definitely check out the club when I move up there! Thanks a lot!

Anyone still training here? What are the prices like now (I know that last post were 2 years ago).

I just started Judo and thinking about going here when funds allow it (I think Masao Takahashi is now the only 9th dan in Cananda?)

Sorry for necroing this thread but has anyone tried their Jiu-Jitsu program? Their website says it currently happens on Wednesday evenings. I'm just wondering how practical it is, how much real rolling or groundfighting they do, etc.
