York, PA

does anyone know of any judo schools in York, PA.
I am looking for beginner classes, preferably (actually it's absolutely necessary) Saturdays.

I live near York. Unfortunately I do not know of any judo schools in the area. There are two options that I am aware of:

Very good judo program at the YMCA in Harrisburg. I attended a class there with one of the other forum members (ToddR), and was quite impressed with the skill level of the instructors there.

The other option is the new Grappling class that opened at the Yorktown fitness center. See this thread here:

I have not met Brad (the instructor there), but he has trained with ToddR and my current BJJ instructor, both of whom spoke very highly of his skills. I plan on checking that class out soon myself.

replying to my own topic...

or a school for jiu-jitsu because as I was browsing through topics I realized that that might be more of what I am looking for...
THANKS

Hello and welcome alexandra. You may also wanna check out my shool in landisville www.lfmac.com you can let Jiu jitsu there. The only other school of Judo near me is in lancaster but they don't have a website. it's agood school however. I am not sure how far away from lancaster you are.are you in York proper?

If your not busy on August 26th you should make the trip to our get together, there you will be subjected to all kinds of MA and friends.
