Visitation Policy for Perspective Students
We don't offer "Trial Classes", and we don't accept “walk-in” or “drop-in” visitors! We respectfully request that interested students contact us and schedule a date to come and observe one of our classes. During your visit you are free to ask any questions you may have about our Judo class & club. Our goal is to give you an honest view of our Judo training and club so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to join us. It is our hope, of course, that you will want to join us. But either way, we want you to make an informed & thoughtful choice

MOJ gave a Judo demonstration at the First Annual Japan Festival Eustis on Saturday March 28, 2026.
Sensei Doug Clark was invited to meet with the Japanese Consul General, Mr. Nakano, at the Consulate General of Japan in Miami. They discussed both Judo and the promotion of Judo culture in Florida, and the work Sensei Clark has been doing over the past 20 years. In addition to the Consul General, Sensei Clark also got to meet with several key staff members of the Consulate. It was a wonderful experience, and MOJ sincerely thanks Consul General Nakano and his staff for the amazing hospitality he showed Sensei Clark.
October 2025 marked the 20th Anniversary of Metro Orlando Judo Kai's founding, and to celebrate we had a small clinic together with our friends from Gator Judo. In addition to Sensei Clark, our special guests were former Puerto Rican Olympian Pablo Figueroa and Mult-time Ukrainian National champion Vadym Syniavskyi. Great day of training and friendship. Thank you for helping us celebrate our 20 years in Orlando!
