Kids Classes
At Wall to Wall Martial Arts we offer classes for ages 7 & up and our kids classes are some of the best in the country! The curriculum for this program was created and is supervised by 5 th Degree Judo Black Belt, Sensei James Wall. Sensei Wall is recognized in the martial arts community as one of the best Jr. Judo instructors in the country. He has served as a Guest Clinician at schools all over the U.S. sharing his unique teaching style. He also served as a contributing writer on the topic of Judo for kids for the online Judo magazine, Growing Judo, and for 6 years served on the USJA Coach Education Committee and on the Coach Education Committee for the Judo Black Belt Association.
Our Jr Judo classes are ideal for helping children develop Confidence, Focus, and Discipline. They are also a terrific and fun way to help your child improve his or her Physical Fitness. These classes are very high energy and the kids rarely sit still for long!
Our program is built around the art of Judo which teaches many effective throwing and ground grappling techniques. We also include work on basic punching and kicking and spend time working on various self-defense scenarios to better prepare our students in the event that they need to defend themselves. Our program is very well-rounded and is not based on competition.
It is our goal to help our students develop strong, positive character traits. To help with this we use a Word of the Month system. Each month time is taken for an interactive “Mat Chat”. During these Mat Chats our instructors will interact with the students and discuss the Word of the Month in detail. These Mat Chats focus on topics such as Attitude, Discipline, and Respect.

Adult Judo Classes
A typical Judo class begins with a warm-up period followed by practice in proper falling and rolling techniques. After this, students practice the various techniques of Judo which include both standing and ground fighting applications. After gaining adequate experience students will be allowed to take part in supervised randori, or free sparring.
At Wall to Wall Martial Arts we strongly support all efforts to grow Judo in the US. In particular we are strong advocates for the Freestyle Judo movement that is gaining popularity across the country. Freestyle Judo is “Judo the way it ought to be” meaning that practitioners are able to utilize the full range of Judo throwing techniques and are given more time to work on the ground for submissions. This makes for very dynamic and exciting matches with far fewer penalties than some other Judo rule sets.
Our Judo program is one of the best in the country. Schedule a couple of free trial classes and find out why for yourself!
Brazilian Jiujitsu
Most BJJ/JuJitsu schools focus almost all of their time on ground fighting and almost completely ignore throws & take-downs. At our school we realize the importance of being able to control an engagement while standing and the benefit of being able to decide when and how to take the fight to the ground. With this in mind we designed our BJJ/JuJitsu program to include not only ground grappling but also a healthy dose of throwing/take-down techniques as well as defenses against throws.
Head Instructor James Wall is a BJJ Black Belt under legendary Professor Carlos Machado of the Carlos Machado JiuJitsu Association organization. He combines this with his extensive knowledge of Judo and Japanese JuJitsu to bring you a program that will improve not only your ground grappling skills but your self-defense and stand up skills as well. We are proud members of the Carlos Machado JiuJitsu Association. The Machado family is legendary in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and as members of the Carlos Machado JiuJitsu Association we are authorized to teach their BJJ curriculum at our academy.
