I’m a 10+ year Gracie Jiu Jitsu practitioner and I was looking for a traditional judo professor and academy to help me elevate my fundamental throwing techniques. I found Shintaro sensei and his academy through an extensive search throughout the greater Bay Area. Shintaro sensei is a true martial arts master – patient, respectful, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Not all martial artists can teach effectively, however Shintaro sensei is an excellent teacher who leads by example and has an approach that is easy to follow – regardless of skill level or athletic ability (I’m 45 years old). His teaching technique is among the best I’ve had the pleasure to experience. His academy is immaculately clean, open and there is plenty of space to practice. If I had to choose one place to learn and practice traditional judo, I would choose Nakano Judo Academy.

Best judo school in California. Coach Nakano learned authentic judo in Japan. Very good with kids. Owner teaches classes himself, which is rare in today's McDojo times. Great technician. For adults, he can teach at the highest level.

I went from Brazil to the Bay Area for a work project. As I didn't want to stop my judo practice, I planned to visit some schools in the first weeks and choose one to keep attending for the rest of the stay. The first day I went to Nakano Judo got me hooked! It's been only a week since I am back home after six months training under Nakano's and I already miss it. Sensei Shintaro Nakano is a splendid judoka and instructor. His knowledge is vast and solid, from very technical positioning details to fighting strategy and training methodology. There hasn't been a single time where I left practice with the impression that something would not work in a match. In addition to showing precisely how *you* can make some technique/situation work, Sensei Nakano makes it work on randori (sparring). As a 1.81m 115kg man with some 3 years of judo, I never got thrown so easily and gently as when I was sparring Nakano! He is a very polite, kind and welcoming person, and that shows in the school's mood as well. The physical structure of the dojo is great: plenty of mat space, nice colors in the mats and walls, and room for people to watch. Also, the assistant instructors and training partners are great judokas and people, always willing to help everyone and improve themselves. More than training partners, I have made friends there! It is a school for high quality training in all aspects, and a safe, clean and welcoming environment. I strongly recommend it to every type of person: experienced judoka, beginner judoka or someone that doesn't even exercise yet!
