Judo Classes at Elements MMA

Judo is the art of balance, leverage, and precision. At Elements MMA, our Judo program focuses on dynamic throws, takedowns, and ground transitions that complement both self-defense and MMA training.

Rooted in tradition but adapted for modern application, our classes help students develop total-body control, technical skill, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

Whether you’re brand new or looking to level up your grappling game, you’ll find a welcoming space to train and grow.

What You'll Learn

  • Classic throws (hip throws, foot sweeps, shoulder throws)

  • Grips, posture, and off-balancing techniques (kuzushi)

  • Transitions from standing to ground

  • Control and pinning techniques

  • Fall safety and breakfalls

Judo teaches how to use your opponent’s energy against them — a powerful skill in self-defense, MMA, or life. You’ll gain balance, timing, and the ability to stay composed in motion. Plus, it’s a full-body workout that improves agility and functional strength.
