We continually upgrade the teaching and coaching skills of all Team 1 judo instructors. To insure top quality instruction, all instructors are encouraged to attend national and international teaching and coaching continuing education classes/seminars. We strive to stay current with teaching, coaching, and competitive research and trends.
Our current head instructor is Joey Nawa. He has over 28 years of Judo experience and spent two years at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Spring as part of the resident athlete program. His competitive resume spans the world and he consistently ranked among the top 5 in the United States. He has a master’s degree and works as a pediatric occupational therapist.
