Meet the Instructors
At Mushin Judo we are dedicated to the development of others through the teaching of Judo. We believe a strong community is built through the focus on people and encouraging them to pursue their goals while assisting them along the way. Our greatest hope is to teach others to stand up after they have fallen down.

Joshua Kindelberger is a Godan (5th degree black belt), from Boise and one of the founding members of Mushin Judo. He started Judo in 1985 under Michael Campbell (Rokudan, 6th degree black belt), at the beginning of the school year, as he entered the 4th grade. Josh and his brother Jason wanted to take Karate and their Dad, Harry Kindelberger, took them to Judo instead. Josh became a lifelong student of Judo as a member of the Capitol Judo Club and now, Mushin Judo. Since he started teaching in 1996, Josh has focused on the students of Judo, to ensure they develop as people, mentally and physically, as intended by Jigoro Kano. This included an opportunity to teach in Cape Verde, Africa from October 2000 to February 2001, when Josh was only a Nidan (2nd degree black belt). Josh also had the opportunity to teach Judo in Madagacar with his youngest brother Brandon in September 2022, at La Porte Judo Club. Josh started the kids class in 2008, which has grown to include the intermediate level students and he also started the Kata class, which he shares in the teaching with Sensei Ben Ott.
Josh holds certifications in teaching and coaching from the United States Judo Federation (USJF), and is the Vice President of the Intermountain Yudanshakai. Josh loves Judo and he loves to see what Judo does for others, as they grow and learn about themselves.
