FPrice: You know, ANOTHER advantage of Judo (From what I've seen) is that, contrary to other MAs (As pointed out on several of the posts above), when you walk into a Dojo you pretty much see what you would expect to see. Judo instruction in my experience is very uniform and you are less dependent on the Sensei's talent than in most other MAs(Unless the Sensei is a fake). As a rule of thumb, if it's a Kodokan affiliated, you should do all right. Don't think I'm saying that you shouldn't check out prospective Dojos, just that IMHO you'll have an easier time of it!
