Starting in the 1960's, the Portsmouth area had a YMCA which was home to the Portsmouth Judo Club. Some of the founding members of the OMA are former students of that club. "I was one of the last members of the Portsmouth Judo Club still teaching there before the YMCA closed", said Michael Bailey, assistant instructor. "I learned a lot in my classes and spent every minute I could there. This is like going back home, to have a Judo school where I can study and also pass on what I know."


Judo was founded by Dr. Juguro Kano
