Judo had its origin in the ancient Japanese art of jujutsu, a system of hand-to-hand combat. What is unique to the art is that one does not use brute strength to overpower an opponent, but rather skill, finesse and flexibility. Judo is best known for it's 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 as a sport has evolved from a fighting art where it develops complete body control, fine balance, and fast reflexive action.
A Judo Throw
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.
Our program combines these principles with a high-energy, fun,
safe, challenging and positive environment
in which judoka can
achieve his or her potential. Students will learn these effective techniques all while having a good time performing
flips, ninja rolls, and break-falls
