Three ways the club could look

Each direction comes with its own homepage and a twelve-poster set for the dojo walls: counting in Japanese, belt ranks for both arts, dojo words, throws, groundwork and more. Open each one, then pick a favourite or mix the parts you like.

A name idea: Clearwater in Japanese is 清水, read shimizu, literally “clear water”. 清水道場 (Shimizu Dōjō) means “Clearwater Dojo”. It appears on the seal and the posters; “Clearwater Jiu Jitsu & Judo” is only a working name.

What the research found

We reviewed 18 club sites, from Atos and Gracie Barra to judo clubs in Burnaby, Lake Country and Kamloops.

  • Red and black is everywhere (13 of 17 sites), with condensed all-caps type and dark gym photos. Indigo, nature colours and Japanese type are unused.
  • The best sites repeat one first-class button, split visitors by age early, explain the first class plainly, and publish schedule and prices.
  • Rarely done: published prices, KidSport and Jumpstart links, drop-in info for visitors, learning content like terminology and belts.
  • Nearest club: Grizzly Jiu Jitsu in Barriere, about 60 km away, social media only.
