Kodokan is a must-visit place for anyone who is a Juduka or a fan of the sport. Kodokan has a small museum & shop that you can explore (closes @6 pm). There is also a bronze statue of Jigaro Kano (founder of Judo) next to the entrance which is a cool photo spot. The trainings run between 4-8 pm and there are classes running at different floors (depending on your ranking you may be eligible to practice only in some). The process to attend a class and rent a gi was smooth and the staff were helpful. It cost ~$20 for attending a randori session and gi rental so pretty reasonable for such an experience. I should note that you may not be entertained here if you are not familiar with Judo.

一般稽古は月額5000円(現在は2022/4月頃から5500円)、または1回880円となっています。(細かい値段は変更になる場合があるので確認してください。)

月額の金額で参加するには入門が必要です。 講道館の入門というのが最初に必要でその値段は約8000円だったと思います。(こちらも値段はご自身で要確認。)

学校講道館という初心者が黒帯になるまでのクラスがありますが、社会人から習うにはこれ以上ない場所です。丁寧に教えてもらえます。柔道の総本山と呼ばれる場所が、丁寧に初心者に教える場所でもあることを誇りに思います。

特に大人になってから「基礎をきちんと学べる場所」というのは意外と珍しいです。中には黒帯を取った後でもう一度白帯から学びたいと参加されている方もいました。

外国人の生徒も多いです。日本語が話せる外国人も多いですが、見て学べるので日本語がそれほど話せなくても参加できます。

体力がない人は慣れるまで疲れる練習もあると思いますが、参加者の中には学生から高齢者もいて、みんながそれぞれ頑張っています。失礼なことや危ないこと以外で、例えば【できないから・弱いから】で叱られることはありません。

とても強い屈強な人たちが練習していて自分は練習についていけないのではないかという心配をされるかもしれませんが、あまり体が丈夫ではなさそうな方や高齢者の方も練習していらっしゃったのでそれぞれのできる範囲で参加できると思います。

初段に合格した時は、講道館から黒帯をもらえると思っている人がいました(私です)。実際に講道館からプレゼントするという演出があれば感動的かなと思うのですが、実際には黒帯は自分で買います。講道館から貰えるのは、学校を卒業して黒帯を締めてもOKという許可です。

クラスに参加する頻度にもよりますが、初段に合格するまで大体1年半から3年ぐらいかかるようです。怪我や体調・学校・仕事・家庭の都合などで通えなくなることもあるので、できるだけ間を空けず、通えるときにできるだけ通って初段まで頑張ることをおすすめします。

昇段までのシステムはほとんど公表はされていないので、実際には参加しながら先生に確認していくことが求められます。基本的には参加した日数や期間と試験での評価で決められています。

五級から始まって一級までが学校講道館。そこから卒業すると初段(黒帯)です。クラスは3ヶ月目までの普通科と、それ以降の特修科があります。

1ヶ月目はほとんどすべて受け身の練習、2ヶ月目から少しずつ基本的な技の練習が始まります。特修科になってから乱取(randori)...

As a fan of judo and having practiced a bit myself, visiting the Kodokan Judo Institute is awe inspiring. 🥋

Judoka from all around the world come here to train. The dedication, discipline, physical and mental strength of judoka are amazing. It’s truly a wonder to visit here and watch elite athletes practice.

Public spectating is also allowed and it’s FREE! This was a good escape from summer heat. I could’ve watched forever- it was great to observe here.

Highly recommend a visit to treasure the birthplace of judo. Check the training schedule at the official Kodokan website.

Go to the 8th floor of the Kodokan International Judo Center...
