About

In the fall of 2007 I started taking Judo with my 13 year old son, Tyler.  I started initially to find a way to get some exercise, do something fun with my kid, and find an outlet for that male urge to be able to be a little bit rough sometimes.  Coming from a wrestling background (high school), and having done a bit of martial arts here and there, I have found that Judo takes my wrestling to a whole different level, and is really fun and energizing… so please join me as I track our progress, and share our experiences.

The class we currently take runs us $35 per month for up to 3 classes per week.  It’s a real steal.  For more information you can call them at 801-347-3471 or check them out at Hidden Valley Judo website.
