On this episode of the Well Rounded Grappler Podcast, I sit down with Paul Jordan — a lifelong Judoka who has owned, operated, and led successful judo dojos as head sensei for over 30 years. We take a deep dive into the real blueprint behind building a judo school from the ground up, including how to open a dojo, how to run it professionally, how to attract students, and most importantly, how to grow and sustain a judo program as a legitimate business. Unlike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, there is very little public information on how to successfully market and expand a judo dojo, leaving many instructors struggling to grow despite having world-class technical skill. Paul shares hard-earned lessons from decades in the trenches, breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and what every instructor needs to understand to build a thriving, respected, and financially sustainable judo school. If you’ve ever dreamed of opening your own dojo, growing your student base, or turning your passion for judo into something bigger, this episode proves that it’s possible — and shows you how to do it.https://chutobubrasa.com/

What an honor it was to sit down with Austin, Anthony, and Thomas! 4 blackbelts, lots to talk about. Some of the topics we covered today: 1. Is the mindset of "hard nosed" judo outdated? (100s of uchi komis, hard rounds, stop the bleeding and work harder)2. With all the activities people have to choose from, how can we make judo stand out and be more desirable?3. How do we get people to stick with judo for the long haul?4. Advice to anyone wanting to try judo for the 1st time?Contacts & Socials:Cole Stanley, Student 1st Martial Arts & Fitness, Monroe, NC704-219-6011 student1stmartialarts.comWell Rounded Grappler on SpotifyAnthony Lau, Hollywood Judo, Los Angles, CAtatamitalk@gmail.com@anthonythrows on IGAustin Hansen, Seijuku Dan Judo, Sanford, NChttps://www.sdjjudo.com/ Cell: 913-704-5145 (call or text anytime)Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, and X at " Seijuku Dan Judo."Thomas Allen, Chantilly MMA, Chantilly, VAChantillyMMA.com@the_take_down_Bjj on IG.#roundtabletalk #roundtablemeeting #roundtable #roundtablediscussion #podcast #martialarts #judolife #judocoach #judopodcast #wellroundedgrappler #bjj #martialartsjourney #mma #judocoach #judo #jiujitsu #judoblackbelt #grappling #martialartsbusiness #martialartspodcast #help #discussion #motivation #senseiexplains #nidan #shidan #shodan #talking #knowledgeispower #knowledge #insight #usajudo #usjijudo #usjfjudo #judofighter

Jeff Brown, father of Colton Brown (judo olympian), sits down with me and tells his story of 50 years in the martial art of judo. He is a WELL of knowledge. We talk about his beginnings, the early days, his involvement with Colton's judo career, the state of judo today, and his hand in the Colton Brown Training Center. You are really going to like this interview with Jeff. His positive energy is infectious and we have a ton of laughs during our inteview on Well Rounded Grappler. #judoblackbelt #judolife #judocoach #judo #judotraining #judofighter #mma #martialarts #martialartsjourney #martialartsbusiness #businessowner #business #businesstips #nidan #sensei #senseiexplains #50years #lifelongpassion #passion #father #fatherhood #fatherhoodmoments #fun #joy #insporation #lifelongservice #teaching #spreadsmile #funny #loveofthesport #coltonbrown #coltonbrowntrainingcenter #newjersey
