Cultural Clubs

Nishi Judo Club

  Judo is taught to help give a person discipline for their body and mind. It builds confidence and self esteem. Judo is an individual sport, but at Nishi, the students are taught that they cannot succeed without the help of many, directly and indirectly. Competition judo is also taught. The students compete at many levels; local, state and nationally. Some of the black belts that teach the classes referee at competition at various levels.

  The Nishi Judo club was established in 1963 and meets weekly on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Kaikan at Los Angeles Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple. An Annual Surf and Turf Fundraising Dinner is also hosted by the Nishi Judo Club.
