JUDO
The Path to Strength and Harmony
01
Origins and Philosophy of Judo
Judo, which translates to "the gentle way," is a Japanese martial art developed by Jigoro Kano in the late 19th century. It emphasizes the principle of using an opponent's energy against them, focusing on throws, takedowns, and grappling techniques.

Practical Application in Self-Defense
Beyond its use as a competitive sport, Judo equips individuals with practical self-defense skills applicable in real-world situations. Techniques taught in Judo emphasize leverage and timing, allowing practitioners to neutralize attackers efficiently and escape dangerous scenarios.
02
Fundamental Techniques and Training
Judo training involves rigorous practice of throwing techniques (nage-waza), groundwork (ne-waza), and submission holds (shime-waza and kansetsu-waza). Practitioners learn how to off-balance opponents and execute controlled throws and pins with precision.
