real JUDO Magazine Testimonials

Real Judo is the Real Deal!  I am a Judo Instructor in the Midwest who subscribes my whole club to Real Judo.  Who does not enjoy reading their name in an international publication?  Not only is Real Judo a marketing, informational, and motivational tool, Real Judo promotes Judo!

Real Judo as a marketing tool is used at my judo club.  I provide all annual members with a complimentary subscription to Real Judo.  The publication is mailed to their homes, were they read articles and look at pictures from the judo world.  This is the student “Sports Illustrated” and one of the only ways they can see and read about World/Olympic levels, Junior/Senior National levels down to Beginner Judo.

As an informational instrument, I recommend all judo instructors promote judo any way they can.  In the publication our close-knit community receives news and information, along with, successful techniques demonstrated by American heroes in our sport. Real Judo is just another way “mutual benefit and welfare” succeeds in our sport.

One way I motivate judoka when they are ready to compete at the Junior Nationals is, “today you are fighting to get your name in the book!” When the competitors register for the Junior Nationals usually they receive a souvenir book that contains last years results.  This is a publication that is limited to the current years’ participants.  Real Judo is an International publication that is received by a larger judo community.  Even the students who do not compete nationally receive Real Judo.  They can read about their teammates.  I convey to everyone that even if you did not go to National, International, or Midwest Championships they helped by practicing and training with those who did compete.  This seems to be a spark as a coach, which continually draws great motivation out of all the judoka.

Promoting judo is one of our greatest goals.  Real Judo does just that!  Everyone in our sport should have the same access to Real Judo and in this dojo we do.  I suspect if you, the sensei, looks at Real Judo as an asset, Real Judo will be a part of your judo.
