East Bay Judo Institute (EBJI) is a non-profit organization focused on the teaching of Kodokan Judo, emphasizing personal development through technical training rather than competition outcomes. The institute fosters a supportive community, promoting character building and important life skills such as teamwork and respect among its members.

EBJI offers a variety of classes for both children and adults, ranging from beginner to advanced levels, all conducted in a traditional Japanese training environment. The institute's commitment to family values and community integration is reflected in the positive experiences shared by students and their families, who often form lasting friendships both on and off the mat.
