A small club. Serious judo. Friendly mats.
Hughey's Judo is the judo program at Gracie Tampa South, coached by Joe Hughey. We train two nights a week and we run things the way a club should run — clear curriculum, respectful pace, and genuine attention to each student.
Beginners, lifers, competitors, kids, adults — everyone trains together. That's how judo is supposed to work, and it's how you actually get good.
