Instructors

Our instructors are highly qualified in their respective sport. Most of our judo instructors were elite athletes from the Beijing judo team or the China national team. Head instructor Yang Li also worked as the head judo coach to the Beijing women's judo team. Our philosophy is to make judo more accessible to amateur participants who are outside the professional sport system; to teach the philosophy of judo, help children to achieve more self-discipline, confidence, respect, make them more skilled and become stronger physically and mentally. For adults judo can still be a very useful self-defense martial art, as well as a great way to stay in shape. Those who want to focus on competition, our instructors can offer their wealth of experience as well as highly skilled training partners.
