A BIG Thank You to San Gabriel Judo Dojo for your hospitality and allowing us to train with you as always. The Montes boys training during their vacation. Super proud of you guys!!

Happy Mother's Day from AJA! We know the dedication and sacrifice that it takes to have your kids coming to practice every week and all those tournaments (non Covid year that is 😭). We hope you have a great and relaxing day, you deserve it!

Putting the extra work for conditioning this past Saturday. Very proud of each Judoka who attended they kept their pace and finished to the end with everyone, great job. We will try this every month throughout the winter and spring. Details for our next conditioning session will follow soon.

It was a beautiful day this past Saturday for Judo followed by some family food and fun. It was wonderful to see Judokas and their families, interact in a safe way but still manage to enjoy each others company. All Dojos should continue to share the positives of Judo even while we go through this adversity... let's come out stronger in 2021. Wishing all a healthy and happy Holiday Season.

To Our Dearest Members,
As we continue through another week of the COVID-19 Pandemic the safest and healthiest course for our Judokas and their families is to keep the Dojo closed for the time being. We will continue to monitor State and City Mandates as to when we will be able to re-open the Dojo. To all our Judokas and their families thank you so very much for your continued support, stay safe and we will be training together again in the near future.
Any questions at all please contact us.

To Our Members,
After evaluating the COVID-19 epidemic and the recent State of emergency this past weekend from State and City Mandates, we have decided to keep the Dojo closed for this week.

Thank you all for your continued support and we hope everyone stays healthy and safe.
