Originating from Japan, Judo is not just a martial art but a discipline that

embodies the principles of efficiency, mutual welfare, and respect. Developed by Jigoro Kano in the late 19th century, Judo combines physical techniques with a philosophical approach to personal growth. Its name translates to "The Gentle Way," reflecting the art's focus on using an opponent's strength and momentum to your advantage rather than relying solely on brute force.

​

Judo primarily emphasizes throws, pins, and takedowns, but it also includes ground techniques like joint locks and strangles, making it a versatile and dynamic sport. Beyond its physical benefits, Judo builds agility, endurance, and mental resilience, encouraging practitioners to think strategically and adapt to challenges.
