Tohkon grew to more than fifty members soon after its founding and outgrew the original facility, moving to the Japanese American Service Committee in 1995 and developing a partnership that continues to this day. The JASC is a United Way agency that was at the time in the midst of a transition from a social services facility for the elderly to a community service agency serving the whole family.
This partnership enabled Tohkon to significantly expand its judo program, and in exchange Tohkon members support the JASC several times a year by assisting with community support programs and providing martial arts demonstrations. Since then, Tohkon has doubled in size and continues to draw world-class competitors in the junior, senior, and master divisions as members.

Report
We recommend all potential students observe at least two class sessions (one fundamentals and one advanced) prior to beginning training. Beginning judo students are required to attend fundamentals classes. The fundamentals class emphasizes proper etiquette, posture, footwork, and technique while developing stamina, flexibility, and timing.
Rules of Conduct
Report
All members are expected to embody the highest standards of good sportsmanship, courtesy, and ethics both on and off the mat. Be on time for class, as proper stretching before a workout is crucial for injury prevention. If you are late, you are expected to warm up and stretch on your own, and ask permission from the instructor before joining the class.
