About Hempstead Judo Club

We are a community-focused club offering Judo classes for kids and adults, from beginners to competitors, taught by qualified coaches in a safe and supportive environment.

Our Mission

We are committed to making the joy and power of Judo available to participants in their everyday life, at Judo practice, classes and competition. We want our students to be physically, morally and mentally in good shape and use their knowledge for the good of society.

Our Values

In our classes, we always teach respect and discipline. We also teach self-confidence which is a major component of self-defense.

Our Solution

Hempstead Judo Club is not a business. We want to make learning Judo available and affordable to every young man and woman who is interested in the sport. Our instructors are volunteers.
