Sensei Parkhill will be returning to teach classes on the evening of December 23, 2025. This includes both the children’s class and the adult class.
Bret Parkhill teaching Juji Gatame at Judocon in 2023
This is his first visit since he moved away over a year ago, and a great opportunity for new students to meet him and benefit from his experience. You may also learn a lot about this history of judo from his asides and diversions during lessons. This is also an amazing opportunity for shorter and smaller built judoka to benefit from the instruction of an expert with similar build. Further, Sensei Parkhill is an expert in foot sweeps.

If you only make one class at the Des Moines Judo Academy this year, this should be it!
