What families say
“Excellent judo, great culture with low ego and a general environment of friendship and respect. There's roughly equal time and investment in programs for both adults and children and classes are offered at different levels of experience and intensity.” — Ben Kamphaus
“Front Range Judo is a fantastic, small Judo community that works together to become better.” — Manuel Leyva
“I first came to Boulder four years ago as an out-of-state college student and joined Front Range Judo looking to build confidence, get back in shape, and join a new community. Despite having no background in judo or any similar sport, all the coaches and members accepted me as one of their own and immediately made me feel like part of the FRJ family.” — Zach Ehling
