Beginner Judo for Women Workshop
Join us for a fun, welcoming, and beginner-friendly introduction to Judo! This session is designed with safety first, creating a comfortable and supportive environment for women to learn something new, build confidence, and develop practical self-defense skills.
You’ll learn the fundamentals of Judo, including techniques from both standing and ground positions, all taught by experienced female black belt instructors. No prior experience or uniform is required—just come as you are!
After the training, stay and socialize with fellow participants while enjoying light snacks and refreshments.

Outside the dojo, Rita enjoys spending time with her two dogs, crafting, and searching for new favorite matcha drinks and ice cream flavors. Having lived in six different states, she loves exploring new places and experiences. She now calls San Antonio home, where she lives with her best friend.
Assistant Coach Jessica Jenkins began her judo journey at age 14 and competed extensively throughout her young adult years.
