The dojo has reopened with a limited schedule. There will be adult classes only for now, and proof of COVID vaccination will be required.

See below for new class times and COVID requirements.
Welcome!
Oishi Judo is one of the oldest active judo clubs in New York City. It was founded in 1969 by Shiro Oishi, who continues to teach classes and give private lessons.

You are always welcome to watch a class at no charge. You can call in advance or simply drop by. Visitors and guests must wear a mask and will be asked to sign a waiver.

COVID requirements: The dojo will be asking for proof of vaccination before people will be permitted to practice. You can show your vaccination card, or show that you got Covid (medical test showing the date and that you have the antibody). In place of the card, there is a NY site that provides an Excelsior pass (NY State Excelsior Pass) showing that you have been vaccinated (based on the records from when the vaccine was administered).
