OJC is a wonderful judo club with a strong sense of community, a genuine commitment to safety, and a competitive spirit for those who want to push themselves. I started judo here when I was 15, stopped during COVID, came back once doors opened again, stopped again, then came back briefly after graduating from university. Over the years, my life, fitness, body, and judo have all changed, but one thing has remained constant is my appreciation for OJC and my trust in Sensei Brian, the other senseis, and my fellow judoka. OJC has always been a place where I can step onto the mats, leave the outside world at the door, and focus on challenging myself physically, technically, and mentally in a safe, supportive environment. The training is demanding (trust me, these guys and gals are no joke!), but it’s also incredibly rewarding, and everyone is there to help each other improve. Whether you’re a teenager or an adult looking to try judo for the first time, return after a break, train recreationally, compete at a high level, or explore kata, OJC has a place for you. Here, judo is safe, fun, challenging, rewarding, and it’s a club I’ll always come back to whenever I’m ready to step back on the mats. I can’t recommend OJC highly enough.

This is a great place to train as an adult, with patient senseis who have decades of experience, and a terrific group of students happy to share their knowledge. And if you’re clumsy, quite aside from learning the fascinating combat/sport aspects of judo, you’ll also learn how to fall properly—I’ve hit the deck twice in the real world recently, and both times my uncoordinated body (quite without my knowledge or consent) launched itself into proper breakfall position before I landed. First time(s) I’ve ever bragged to people about falling down. Give OJC a try, my klutzy brethren!

Easily best judo club in the region. Competitive classes are great workouts for experienced judoka, and the adult class is very intelligently paced to be much more chill and good for beginners, or people getting back into it who aren't yet ready for the intensity of the advanced classes

I've been training at Ottawa Judo Club for over two years, and it’s been an incredible experience. The instruction is high-quality, focused, and always delivered with a strong sense of discipline and respect for the art of judo. The club has a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, making it a great place for both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Classes are well-structured with a good balance of technique, conditioning, and sparring, and the community is supportive and respectful. Over the past two years, I’ve seen real progress—not just in my judo skills, but also in my fitness, confidence, and mindset. It’s a great environment to grow, train seriously, and be part of a passionate community. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn judo in Ottawa!

My son is enjoying judo trainings in Ottawa Judo Club. The senseis are professional, knowledgeable, and caring. The atmosphere is welcoming and positive, and kids learn judo techniques, discipline and respect. A great place for children and adults to be part of such supportive team.

Judo is more soft than other martial arts. My daughter has been playing judo for one and half years, she loves it. We would definitely recommend this place

The senseis are knowledgeable and have the kids’ best interest in mind. Lessons are fun and engaging. But there are also lots of opportunities for development and advancement for those who are interested in competing.

The Ottawa Judo Club has guided my son into a confident, capable judoka. The gentle way, found also in the meaning of Judo, permeates throughout the club. His sensei over the years have taught him with patience, passion, and professionalism. Couldn’t be happier giving this club a 5-star review!

Very accommodating atmosphere. Very family oriented and definitely affordable. Unless you are willing to dish out the big dollars for a main stream judo club in town, please join this one. Covid friendly too.
