Judo is a martial art that focuses on throwing your opponent and subduing them through pins, chokes and arm-locks. It is an effective form of self-defense, along with being a great way to stay in shape! You can expect to learn both the philosophical and martial arts aspects of Aikido, when you join Kin-Tora's Aikido program. Our classes are a lot of fun and offer a great workout, along with practicing in a safe and supportive environment.

Brothers Tony and Marty Grisanti started Kin-Tora with the help of their parents, Salvatore and Doris Grisanti.
Tony and Marty began studying Judo in 1963 and became black belts 9 years later and began to teach.
They created Kin-Tora in 1974 out of their love for Judo, their desire to share it, and to have their own club where Judo could be taught and practiced: a club with a family atmosphere.
Kin-Tora started with just a few students and has flourished over the last 44 years.
Some of their first students are still with us today, including Sensei Eric Joseph.

When Dr. Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, entered Tokyo University at the age of 18, he began learning Tenshin Shinyo Ryu Jujitsu in 1877 and later he studied Kito Ryu Jujitsu as well as various Jujitsu techniques from the other distinct styles.
Because Kano wanted to teach Jujitsu for educational purposes and to distinguish his style from other styles, he renamed it "Judo", which means "the gentle way".
He said the purpose of Judo training is for sport, mental discipline, competition and self defense.
