Staten Island Judo Jujitsu Dojo

Staten Island Martial Arts

Throwback Thursday!

Join us at our next kids monthly judo tournament.

Congrats to all of our newly promoted students! Staten Island Martial Arts for everyone!

Today I want to honor my judo teacher, mentor, and friend, Mark Browner. I met him when I was 15, at a time when I rarely experienced people who truly wanted what was best for me without wanting anything in return. Mark was that rare person I could always count on.

He taught me lessons that went far beyond the mat. He showed me that when people try to hurt you, the best response is emptiness—not just physically through judo, but mentally and emotionally in life. That wisdom changed everything for me.

Mark introduced me to the meaning of mutual benefit, a principle I’ve carried with me and passed on to my own students for more than 15 years. His guidance and love shaped the person I’ve become, and without him, I don’t know where I would be today.

You will be always missed, always loved, and always remembered.

🥋 Why Judo is the Safest Sport for Kids Under 13 🥋

When it comes to choosing the right activity for your child, safety is every parent’s #1 concern. That’s why Judo stands out as one of the safest sports for kids under 13 — and at Staten Island Judo & Jujitsu Dojo, we make safety, discipline, and fun our top priorities.

✅ Certified Instructors – Our coaches are professionally trained to teach proper falling techniques (ukemi) before any throws or sparring. Kids learn how to fall safely — a skill that protects them in sports and in everyday life.

✅ Low Injury Rate – Studies show that judo has fewer injuries than soccer, football, gymnastics, and even basketball for young athletes. Unlike high-impact sports, judo emphasizes controlled movement, respect, and technique over force.

✅ Confidence & Respect – Beyond safety, judo builds focus, self-control, and respect for others. Kids learn to challenge themselves while supporting their teammates, creating a positive and encouraging environment.

✅ Healthy & Active Lifestyle – Judo is a full-body workout that keeps kids active while improving balance, flexibility, and coordination — all while having fun on the mat.

💡 If you’re looking for a safe, structured, and confidence-building sport for your child, Judo is the perfect choice.

👉 Come see why families across Staten Island trust us to teach their kids not just martial arts, but life skills.
