I've been to two amazing clinics at Kokushi Midwest Judo. Grace is very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. If I lived in the area this would be my dojo. Looking forward to more clinics and visits for sure!(University of Illinois students there's nothing better than Judo to get through any of your toughest semesters! It worked for me when I was in grad school. You'll be focused for school and Grace just might turn you into a national champ!)

Kokushi Midwest Judo is a great place to learn Judo for any level. I am a beginner at 34 years old, and love every class I've been/go to. The classes are diverse, friendly, and everyone smiles all the time. It's a welcoming environment where the sensei's give excellent instruction to improve your technique, while being safe and taking care of one another. I plan to stick around for a long time.
