About Orange County Youth Sports Academy

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

We take Judo seriously. Our instructors have been in Judo for decades competing both at the world- and national-level. Intelligence, technique, conditioning are keys to success. We can help you accomplish more with less energy expended. This is a sport for kids teaching respect, honor and work ethic

What's one tip for first-time students that will make them feel like veterans?

We treat all of our students like family. We believe in teaching life lessons not just sports or martial arts or self-defense. Judo is not just a sport, it's a way of life.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

We want to give back to the community. We're not into this for the money. We want to increase the patronage of Judo as a sport and a way of life. Judo has concepts built within it that translate over to life in a way that enhances the quality of life.

What do you love most about your job?

Seeing people do things they couldn't do before. Seeing the increased confidence build up in a human being. Seeing the personal growth. Watching people change their lives postively by taking a martial art into their souls.
