OJC is the best judo club in the ottawa region, Great community and excellent instructorsPosted on Google
Kien Do28 June 2026OJC is a wonderful judo club with a strong sense of community, a genuine commitment to safety, and a competitive spirit for those who want to push themselves. I started judo here when I was 15, stopped during COVID, came back once doors opened again, stopped again, then came back briefly after graduating from university. Over the years, my life, fitness, body, and judo have all changed, but one thing has remained constant is my appreciation for OJC and my trust in Sensei Brian, the other senseis, and my fellow judoka. OJC has always been a place where I can step onto the mats, leave the outside world at the door, and focus on challenging myself physically, technically, and mentally in a safe, supportive environment. The training is demanding (trust me, these guys and gals are no joke!), but it’s also incredibly rewarding, and everyone is there to help each other improve. Whether you’re a teenager or an adult looking to try judo for the first time, return after a break, train recreationally, compete at a high level, or explore kata, OJC has a place for you. Here, judo is safe, fun, challenging, rewarding, and it’s a club I’ll always come back to whenever I’m ready to step back on the mats. I can’t recommend OJC highly enough.Posted on Google
Bogdan Chelariu30 April 2026Anyone interested in learning or improving their Judo, should take classes here! Can't recommend the club and the instructors enough!!Posted on Google
Trevor21 April 2026This is a great place to train as an adult, with patient senseis who have decades of experience, and a terrific group of students happy to share their knowledge. And if you’re clumsy, quite aside from learning the fascinating combat/sport aspects of judo, you’ll also learn how to fall properly—I’ve hit the deck twice in the real world recently, and both times my uncoordinated body (quite without my knowledge or consent) launched itself into proper breakfall position before I landed. First time(s) I’ve ever bragged to people about falling down. Give OJC a try, my klutzy brethren!Posted on Google
Naryan Shukle6 February 2026Easily best judo club in the region. Competitive classes are great workouts for experienced judoka, and the adult class is very intelligently paced to be much more chill and good for beginners, or people getting back into it who aren't yet ready for the intensity of the advanced classesPosted on Google

Bruce1 September 2025I've been training at Ottawa Judo Club for over two years, and it’s been an incredible experience. The instruction is high-quality, focused, and always delivered with a strong sense of discipline and respect for the art of judo. The club has a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, making it a great place for both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Classes are well-structured with a good balance of technique, conditioning, and sparring, and the community is supportive and respectful. Over the past two years, I’ve seen real progress—not just in my judo skills, but also in my fitness, confidence, and mindset. It’s a great environment to grow, train seriously, and be part of a passionate community. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn judo in Ottawa!Posted on Google
