When you learn Judo, you develop important skills that you can use in and outside of tournaments. It not only hones your combat abilities but also teaches you discipline and improves your self-confidence.
However, you can’t learn proper technique just by reading books or watching videos. To truly achieve mastery, you need the guidance of skilled teachers. Learn from the certified coaches at Ryoku Judo Club. We teach judo to kids and adults and train them to become champions.
Judo is a WAY OF LIFE.

I sent my (9) nine year old son to Ryoku Judo in 2008 a little overweight no energy and very little self confidence, Sergio worked well with my son he trimmed down his energy level was restored, and he now has great self confidence with a positive can do attitude. Sergio is exceptionally knowledgeable in both fitness and Judo, his Integrity is above reproach and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about hiring him

If you truly want to learn Judo as a martial art, this is the place for you. Sensei Sergio and all of the black belts are passionate about Judo and will give you all the attention necessary to make sure you are actually learning. The club has a positive culture where everyone is there to help each other improve. This is the most legit club in the city and I highly recommend it.

The sensei's there are great. Sergio is very knowledgeable. He keeps us going and gets us in shape. It can be strict and fun at the same time. Miguel is great with the newcomers and gets them ready and prepared to start joining class after learning the basics. Andrey is great at helping out anyone who has questions during training and can get you that extra advice you need while Sergio is training the class. I recommend you come check it out. Have some fun, get in shape and build your mind and confidence.

As past President of the USJA and current Chair of their National Promotion Board, as well as president of the Southern California Black Belt Association, I can say unequivocally that this is one of the finest judo schools in the country. I have known their head instructor personally for two decades. He is respected worldwide and has a background from Cuba which is one of the powerhouse nations when it comes to judo in Olympics.

My niece and I recently started practicing at Ryoku Judo Club based on a friend’s recommendation. I could immediately see the passion Sensei Sanchez has for teaching Judo. Each of the instructors have a unique personality; their dedication to teaching children and adults of all levels is admirable and welcoming. It’s definitely a hard workout but you find enjoyment in everything you’re learning and seeing your own progress based on the effort you put in. So go ahead and give it a try!! \(^.^)/

Myself and our three kids, ages 12, 8 and 6 came to try it out. Our two older kids cried before just from being so nervous and anxious, but by the end of our 1st session, we fell in LOVE with Judo. Sensei Sergio and the other coaches have a traditional and disciplined way of teaching, but still know how to keep it fun and enjoyable. Our kids are doing awesome in training and not only can they now defend themselves, but they learn discipline, how to respect others and build confidence.

Sensei Sergio and Sensei Sergio Jr. are incredible Judo teachers. We value their lifetime of experiences and expertise, and dedication.
They have a high standard of expectations, yet keenly aware of the details of each student at various ages and levels.
The more experienced students are like older brothers, helping the younger crowd, making these Judo members a family. The support is extraordinary at the dojo and at tournaments, bar none.
My son loves Judo and thanks me everyday for taking him!
Thank you to our Judo Family!
And thank you to my brother-in-law, Black Belt Judo master, whose three children are black belt mentors, previous Judo Junior Olympians that are Nationally and Internationally ranked WHO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Sensei Sergio Sr. as the best in Las Vegas.

I've been doing jiu jitsu for 7 years and came here as a brown belt. I had tried a few other judo clubs in town to add some takedowns to my game and no one comes close. Ryoku Judo club has seasoned instructors who provide a unique and realistic approach to judo. The atmosphere is family friendly and classes allow students ranging from small children to grown adults to develop their skills. The classes are fun and all the other judoka are respectful and knowledgeable. If you are serious about learning judo in Vegas, then you need to train at Ryoku Judo Club.

“Thorough, methodical and effective instructors for an enjoyable and challenging experience. This was my very first traditional introduction to Judo coming from a combat sports background since I was a kid. I have had many coaches and instructors throughout my life; this group of people are fantastic from top to bottom. Adult classes are great and I’ve seen them work with kids as well- both very good.”

My husband and son started Judo with Sergio in 2009 and I can not believe the dedication and hard work Sergio gives as an instructor and low cost the classes are. My boys have attended several tournaments over the time at Ryoku and gained self confidence, great friends and excellent strength!! Sergio's dedication to the students and the Judo sports is irreplaceable! Any student under his guidance will only grow personally, athletically and spiritually.I would never go anywhere else then Ryoku Judo Club and would recommend to anyone!!!

Sergio like myself runs a judo dojo along with having a day job. It is a labor of love. He trained in judo back when he was in Cuba which is among the strongest countries when it comes to this sport. His dojo has some very tough players including his son. As president of the U.S.Judo Association, Sergio is a highly valued as a club leader and builder of judo in the Las Vegas where he recently held a successful tournament.I have the utmost respect for the caliber of judo offered at RYOKU.”

“Our daughter has been with Ryoku Judo club a little over a year now. Not only has her judo improved tremendously, her love for the sport has too. Sensei Sergio and Sensei Miguel have been so nourishing and their knowledge and love for the sport is evident. All the sensei's are very supportive and encouraging and my daughter never wants to miss a class.”

I recently joined Ryoku Judo and the experience is EXCELLENT. First, they take all ages. They have respect for all levels. They push you to be your best but as an older man (57) I don't move as fast as I used to and they let me learn at my own pace.
There are children in the class and we all work together to learn the art of Judo and respect for the language and terms of the sport.
The school is VERY SAFE not just from any illness but also from injury. Great care is taken to ensure that all levels learn and grow without risk and when you get matched up with someone at your level and you want to "play rough" (with respect) you can go hard without fear of hurting yourself or your teammate.
We are a team. It's a great team with a great staff. There are many Senior members who help you to understand all the elements and like I said.... they push you to be your best, understand the terminology and have great respect for the sport.
If you join Ryoku Judo Club I guarantee that you'll be able to go ANYWHERE in the world and understand what is being said and asked of you in the sport. You can't put a price on respect.

Sergio is an inspiration to those around him. His drive and dedication to martial arts is exceeded only by his ability to motivate his students to reach their goals. His Judo exemplifies the true meaning of "Mutual Welfare and Benefit for All"
