 Professor
Jigoro Kano
Founder, Kodokan Judo
Founded in 1882, Kodokan Judo is
a martial art that can be
practiced by young and old
alike. With techniques founded
in Jujutsu and wrestling, Judo
is the only sport in which
students may practice at full
speed without the need for
protective equipment. Dr. Kano's
intent was to create a martial
art that can be practiced
without fear of being injured,
that provides discipline, a
means to stay fit, a method of
self-defense, and most
importantly, a way of life.
Judo literally means "the gentle
way", and when performed
properly Judo is a fun sport to
watch. Most people not involved
with Judo know Judo for its
spectacular throws. However,
Judo is much more than that.
Grappling techniques, pins,
opponent control, arm locks, and
Judo choking techniques makes
Judo on of the most technical
martial arts in practice today.
For those people wishing to
learn a martial art, get
exercise, and just have fun,
come by the Dojo during one of
our classes and experience Judo
first hand. You do not have to
participate, however, if you
would like to try Judo, we have
Gi's that you may use.
