Yama Judo & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu The mission of Yama Judo is to provide Judo instruction that is fun, cultural, and family oriented. We learn judo for recreation, tournament competition, and self-defense. As we play judo, we perfect not only our technique, but our sportsmanship, honor, humility, focus, and self-discipline with the traditional Kodokan teachings of maximum efficiency with minimum effort and mutual welfare and benefit. This year we are adding “Gracie Style” Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art based in ground fighting. It is unlike many other ground fighting styles, particularly in the way that it teaches practitioners to fight from their backs. Today, nearly all MMA fighters train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu due to the success that past practitioners have had in the sport. Class Schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays, Please contact us for most recent schedule. Or like us on Facebook at facebook.com/YamaJudoIdaho

All-stars will play in the local Top of the Tetons tournament and will travel. T-Ball (Coed ages 5, 6 and 7) The goal of T-ball is to teach the fundamentals of baseball, fielding and hitting in a supportive team environment. Batters hit the ball which is baseball sized and soft, from a tee or are pitched to from the coach if preferred. Rookie (Coach Pitch) (Coed ages 7, 8 and 9) players at this level learn basic skills and how and where to make plays. Coaches pitch to the batters and all players bat each game and play every inning in the field.
Minors Softball: (Girls 3rd, 4th and 5th grades) Girls learn fundamental concepts of softball including pitching and proper field play as they get their first taste of competitive play. Majors Softball: (6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grades) The Majors offers girls true competitive softball in which fundamental skills of the game are fine-tuned. Registration: deadline is April 5 Season: Begins first week of May.
