Welcome to the dynamic sport of Judo..
From the Japanese meaning the “gentle way”, Judo is a very disciplined form of
martial art, which is an ideal activity for all youngsters from the age of four
upwards.
Judo is a modern Olympic combat sport and an ideal form of self-defence.
Participants are taught correct falling procedures, throwing, breaking balance
and grappling techniques; all in a controlled environment. Punching and kicking
are prohibited in Judo.
The benefits of regular participation range from improved self-esteem and
confidence to gains in stamina, strength, fitness and co-ordination. Discipline
and respect also play a large part in the sport and those who participate are
encouraged and expected to exercise this at all times. |
