What is Judo?Judo is a martial art developed by Prof. Jigaro Kano in 1882 based on the ancient techniques of Jiu Jitsu. Judo involves using your partners weight against them to throw them to the floor, where you can then apply a pin, choke or armlock. Within the sport of Judo children learn the throwing techniques and holding techniques on the ground and as they get to the teenage years they learn chokes, strangles and armlocks.
Judo develops balance, coordination, agility, strength, it helps build self esteem as well as control for mind and body. In Judo you have to learn to work with others to advance, help some to improve and you will also improve. Every judoka should try to live by the Judo moral code. (see the short videos below) |
