Chicago Tenri Dojo Welcome

Chicago Tenri Judo Dojo was founded on the principles of Judo’s founder Jigoro Kano:

Mutual Welfare and Benefit for All
Maximum Efficiency in the Use of Mind and Body

We pride ourselves in teaching and practicing traditional Judo principles as taught at the Kodokan in Japan.

History

This Dojo has a long and magnificent history of Judo in Chicago. Its birth place was on the south side of Chicago by a few Japanese Nissei’s and Judo devotees whose vision it was to practice the true teachings of Kodokan Judo. We hold to these principles to this day.

Chronology:
1954 - 1958 IIT Judo Club (Illinois Institute of Technology)
1958 – 1969 Uptown Dojo
1971 – 1991 BTC Judo Dojo
1991 – present Chicago Tenri Judo Dojo


It grew to be one of the most successful clubs in the United States in the mid 60’s with many national and international champions as its members. The dojo today continues to be dedicated to developing JUDOKA’s who are of high moral character, exceptional work ethic, strong leadership in organized judo and teachers of traditional JUDO.
