JUDO

THE GENTLE WAY

Here at Mudo Academy. we offer Judo Classes with professional instructors which make this class fun and exciting for students of all ages.

Judo is a Japanese martial art created by Jigoro Kano in 1882 and means the โ€œgentle wayโ€ in English. It is a grappling form of martial art and competitive Judo consists of a match where the objective is to throw and pin an opponent or force a submission with a joint lock or a choke.

Striking with the hands and feet as well as weapons defense is also a part of Judo training, but not allowed in sport competition. Judo practitioners train not to be aggressive, but to use their opponentโ€™s aggression against them making it suitable for all age groups and fitness levels. Judo became an official Olympic sport in 1964.
