JUDO
For Teens and Adults!
Judo, which is translated as the "gentle way", teaches the principle
of flexibility in the application of technique. This is the
flexible or efficient use of balance, leverage, and
movement in the performance of Judo throws and other skills. Skill,
technique and timing, rather than the use of brute strength, are the
essential ingredients for success in Judo.
You
will
learn how to give way, rather than use force, to overcome a stronger
opponent.
Judo is best known for its spectacular
throwing techniques
but also involves considerable grappling on the ground utilizing
specialized
pins,
control holds,
arm locks,
and Judo
choking techniques.
Judo emphasizes safety, and full physical activity for top
conditioning. Judo is learned on special mats for comfort and
safety.
Judo develops self-discipline and respect for
oneself and others. Judo provides the means for learning
self-confidence, concentration, and leadership skills, as well as
physical coordination, power, and flexibility. As a sport that has
evolved from a fighting art, it develops complete body control, fine
balance, and fast reflexive action. Above all, it develops a sharp
reacting mind well-coordinated with the same kind of body. Judo
training gives a person an effective self-defence system if the need
arises. Judo is often a part of the training done by athletes
preparing for
MMA
matches.
