ABOUT THE CLUB · BERKELEY

A strong start.
A supportive community.

At Genco Judo USA, we focus on the fundamentals and the people learning them. From a child's first steps on the mat to an adult's first class, beginners are welcome.

Judo is a partner-based martial art. Students practice balance, coordination, safe falling, and techniques with a partner—learning respect and teamwork along the way.
