Membership is available only to current Northeastern University students (undergraduate or graduate) who have a membership at the Marino Center. Registration is currently underway for anyone interested in taking the introductory Judo class; see the link provided on the left for more information. This semester-long intro course teaches the fundamentals of Judo for anyone interested and is also considered a prerequisite to becoming a member of the Judo team. The team will not be active during the Summer II semester. Please join us in the fall as we prepare for another competition season.

Attendance:
Attendance to three of the four classes per week is a minimum requirement during the fall and spring semesters. There is no attendance policy for the summer semester. There is a maximum of three allowed absences per semester (permitted for midterms/finals/personal reasons). Any additional absences will result in suspension from the team for the remainder of the semester. Attendance is important for conditioning and training in order to prepare for tournaments throughout the year. Please keep in mind there is a big time commitment involved with participation in the club.
Additional Information:
The training is competition-style-based and as such all members are required to compete in order to be part of the team. It is also required that members train solely with the Judo team during the scholastic year (September to April) and do not practice or compete in any other martial art. This policy is to reduce the risk of injury and to provide a better learning environment for the team’s members. For additional information, please feel free to contact us.
