Judo

In the 38 years since Officer Joe Mollo founded the SFPAL Judo Program many local and regional judo champions have emerged. Our current Head Instructor, 5th degree black belt Bill Wong has lead 3 outstanding judo students who have taken state and national championships including 1st place in the USJF Jr. Judo National Championship and 1st place in the National Judo College Championship.

Our Judo Alumni have gone on to do many interesting things with their lives including one young woman who was with our program for more than 5 years who now works for the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigations.

Our Judo program like all of our other programs in SFPAL is designed to allow all kids to participated. Your yearly fee includes membership in to the United States Judo Federation. We keep costs to a minimum and offer three classes per week. Judo is a contact and physical sport. Touching, flipping and throwing are all part of the sport. While under Instructor Wong’s guidance, you will advance in belt degrees as you learn to master the techniques of Judo and increase your skill and love of the sport.
