Beginner's Class: focuses on basics: how to fall, how to move, some basic throws, how to set-up a throw, and how to hold and control an opponent on the ground.
Advanced Judo: This class focuses on learning more sophisticated throws and throwing methods; gripping skills and strategies for controlling your opponent in the standing position, and more advanced Ne Waza ( ground fighting techniques) such as Chokes and Armbars and the various methods of getting into them, and escaping from them.
