Where is a good place to learn judo?

I'm 20 and have no history in judo. I would like to find an adult entry- level class, i don't have much money, something cheap would be good. and i would like the classes to be with in a 30 min drive range of Kansas City, KS. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I have no idea what there is in Kansas City, but there is a site I will display below that might help you out. And I don't think you should be worrying about the cost. Instructors that charge a lot of money are in it for the money, you can find lots of places that charge a much more modest fee for good instruction. In the martial arts world, more money doesn't mean you are getting the best instruction. Some times you are just contributing to a mega corporation, a wal mart-ial arts school. I would stay away from those places. See if this site helps...

    Judo is great fun and you learn a lot of little things, like how to move, how to maintain balance...and lots of ground work. Be sure that your dojo also spends time on the ground. A good judoka should be well rounded, it seems many just emphasize the throws these days.

    No you don't have to expect to pay over 100 dollars. Some places yes, but usually they have plans that you go on. Spectate the class for a couple days or weeks so you know what you'll actually be doing

    google map it.

    Also look for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a lot of the sweeps are derived from judo.

    Oh and it's kind of hard to find "Cheap Martial Arts" Expect to pay over $100 a month, if you pay less it's probably a crap school and crap instructor.

    Over 100 but less than 180.

    ok well find a good non profit Judo place with friendly coaches but make shore it has a good reputation the good thing about non profit is that you only have to pay for your grading your suit and for registration

    Never underestimate your local YMCA, sometimes $10 bucks a month or free if they have a Judo class.

    But here is a good one; http://www.welcomematjudoclub.com/
