ABOUT THE CLUB
Situated in beautiful Manoa Valley, the judo dojo originally started as Hodokan Judo Club, instructed by Sensei George Tsubota. After his passing, the club closed. The dojo reopened as Manoa Judo Club on September 1, 2017 by Sensei Ernest Miyamasu, a student of Tsubota Sensei. Under the new name, the club continues to reflect the foundations and disciplines passed down from Tsubota Sensei.
​
Manoa Judo Club is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The instructors devote their time and energy solely as volunteers to create a fun, cultural environment to learn the art of judo.
