Judo experience in Tokyo (for a day or two)

Judo experience in Tokyo (for a day or two) - Full body of man sitting on folding chair and drinking tea with high mountains covered with snow on background

I practice judo on a regular basis and will be traveling to Tokyo for a few days. I don't speak Japanese. I would like to experience the local judo atmosphere, and probably learn a few things. Kodokan has lessons geared towards foreigners, but I am not sure it fits such short periods.

Where in Tokyo can I learn judo from a local teacher for a day or two?



Best Answer

Ask your teacher and other people in your dojo.

I practice Kendo, and when someone goes abroad and wants to practice there they first ask if anyone knows a teacher/dojo at the destination. A lot of teachers trained in Japan or personally know teachers there, so it's a good bet you'll get some names.

Going through a network of practitioners is considered more polite (in most places, but especially in Japan) and will probably provide a better experience.
