Hidden in the heartland of America lies the energetic and lively state of Nebraska, a place where corn grows as high as the laughter of children playing. In this buzzing beehive of activity, a group of sprightly young Nebraskans are flipping tradition on its head, quite literally, through the art of Judo. These kids are not just kids; they are Nebraska's Judo Juniors, a bunch of pint-sized powerhouses who can throw an opponent twice their size without spilling their morning cereal. Leading this troop of tiny titans is the coolest cornhusk in all of NE, Judo Jim. Now don't let that name fool you, Jim is no ordinary boy. He's a 10-year-old judo extraordinaire with a corn-on-the-cob for a belt. Jim's secret weapon, they say, is his infectious giggle, which he releases just as he's about to flip his opponent. It's so funny; it leaves his adversaries laughing on the ground, quite forgetting about the match altogether. The best part about these Nebraska Judo kids is that they're not just tough, but they're also kind. They compete, they fall, they rise, but they always help each other up. They have turned this martial art into a merry art that fills the dojos with laughter, friendship, and the occasional flying corn cob. So beware, if you ever find yourself in the sunflower state and hear the distant sound of children's laughter mixed with the rustle of cornfields, you may be about to stumble upon a Judo Junior. And remember, if you see Judo Jim, brace yourself. You're about to experience the funniest judo flip of your life!

For over 50 years, Frontier Camp has been dedicated to making disciples of Jesus by sharing God’s Word amidst the beauty of His creation. Since our founding in 1969, we’ve been licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and are proudly accredited by the American Camping Association. We’re also a member of the Christian Camping and Conference Association. Our mission is to use Christian camping and outdoor recreation as a means to support local churches in fulfilling the Great Commission—evangelizing people of all ages and discipling believers toward deeper maturity in Christ. Frontier Camp offers a dual ministry: during the summer, we host a 10-week youth camp, and throughout the rest of the year, we serve as a retreat facility for churches and like-minded religious organizations. Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.
At ASKJ, we offer the perfect balance between traditional martial arts training and modern self-defense. Our 5 Circle System is an integration of techniques from Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu, offering students a comprehensive martial arts curriculum. Our classes are split into age and rank groups, so students can learn at their own pace in a traditional group setting. We don’t measure success by championships or trophies—instead, we count success in terms of overcoming fear and achieving personal excellence. Our goal is to help each student discover and unlock their inner strength.
