Judo (유도). It keeps my heart beating. After 20+ years of training I found myself relearning the art from scratch in many aspects. Though heavily reliant on throwing techniques, judo is also known for its sport-specific style of ground fighting, or Newaza. Korea has the blueprint for success and a solid track record of bringing their players to the pinnacle of the game.
Without question, judo in Korea played a major role in my overall experience. Both North and South Korea have a rich history in this “pajama” grappling sport. With Korea’s moderate geographical size and population, the constant production of world-class talent makes it impossible to not enjoy exposure to high-level training.
You want to get your throw on? Do it in South Korea.
The judo videos, training, the events, the friends, the memories; I’m glad to be able to share them with you.

I’ve been teaching English in Seoul for the last two years and I’m really eager to start learning Judo. Do you know of any places in Seoul that also have English instruction?
You should find judo no problem in Seoul. If you have a few places near you, just go check them out beforehand. Some will be able to speak English. Even if they don’t, they’d be happy to have you there.
Good day,
