Shimeru Judo & Jiu Jitsu Club

The gym has a stellar Judo program, and Sensei Dooley is a legit teacher and a practitioner. As an American who trained Judo in South Korea, I find it unfortunate that the sport is essentially non-existent in the U.S. I am happy that I found a place that still honors and teaches this great sport.

Shimeru Judo & Jiujitsu Club is an awesome place to train! From the first day I walked into the academy I was welcomed like family. The good vibes are always present here! It has been such a great place to learn the art and skill of Jiujitsu and Judo. Coming from a previous martial arts background I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of instruction and attention I see everyone receives from Coach Patrick. Everyone is treated with respect and given one-on-one interaction. Open mat days on Saturday and Sunday are super fun too! There is definitely so much to learn and absorb here. I’m so glad I found Shimeru Judo & Jiujitsu Club to help me along my jiujitsu journey!

This is a great studio, I highly recommend it. My son had trained jiujitsu before down in San Diego when he was young. He is a freshman in high school and just started back up and he's loving it. The studio is very clean, everyone is friendly and coach Dooley is patient and seems to have a great connection with the students. I definitely recommend training here.

The progressions and skills that my children have learned in the last few months that we’ve been here is not only a reflection on the expertise coaching but the structure that Patrick provides in his classes. Every session is carefully planned out and the instruction is structured to achieve goals. I would highly recommend this facility. The self confidence and the improved body awareness of my children has been an incredible thing to witness.

This place is amazing! First of all, it’s a very clean and family oriented facility. Professor Patrick is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with both his kid and adult students. I love how he blends and incorporates his extensive Judo background with his Jiu Jitsu teachings as well, it’s like getting a two for one lesson. There is a lot of mat space, the people are awesome and the spring floors are fantastic. Definitely love coming here!
