About us

Judo Teachers Roundtable and Social is a group for anyone who teaches judo or wants to start teaching, whether you run a club, assist with a youth class, or just find yourself explaining breakfalls to newer students every week. We get together to talk about the craft of teaching judo: how to break down a throw so it finally clicks, how to keep beginners safe while still letting them feel the sport, and how to handle the awkward moments that come with running a mat.

Some meetups are open discussions where people bring a problem from their own dojo and the rest of us weigh in. Others are more social, a chance to eat together and swap stories about the students who surprised us and the lessons that flopped. There is no fixed curriculum and no expectation that you show up with answers. Half the value is hearing how other teachers handle the same situations you do.

We welcome coaches from every level, from someone helping out at their local club to experienced instructors who have been on the mat for decades. Bring your questions, your successes, and your frustrations. The goal is simple: to get better at passing judo on to the next person, and to enjoy the company of people who care about the same thing.
