The head sensei/coach is Steve Bell a Brit with a lot of passion for judo. I would recommend him highly.

Good luck.

Thanks alot. Looking more for word of mouth recommendations than big ads in the Yellow Pages.

Someone told me a student of Gene LeBell has a school in Hesperia too, I'll check them both out.

word of mouth; Steve Bell is the real deal.

Here's a link to all of the dojo's affiliated with Nanka (the Southern CA. Black Belt Association) http://www.homestead.com/Nanka/Dojos.html

You will find quality judo at most any of the dojos affiliated with Nanka.


Good luck.

I don't know anything personally about Steve Bell, but I have his new Extreme Judo DVD from Hatashita and it's awesome. I'd like to practice with him on the basis of that alone.
