Judo

Judo is a martial art and sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. Its focus is on self-defense, and it teaches practitioners how to use an opponent’s energy against them. Judo can be used to defend oneself against physical attacks, as well as against emotional or psychological attacks. Judo is popular worldwide, and there are many clubs and tournaments in which people can participate.

There is a common misconception that judo is all about throwing your opponent to the ground. While there is some truth to that, judo is a complete martial art that offers a wide range of techniques and strategies for self-defense, sport, and fitness. It can be practiced by anyone, regardless of age or size, and offers many benefits.

The martial art of Judo is a combination of throws, holds, and grappling techniques that can be used for both self-defense and sport. Judo classes at our gym are perfect for people of all ages and experience levels who want to learn how to defend themselves, get in shape, and have fun.
