What is Judo?
Judo is a Martial art that was created in Tokyo, Japan, during the late 19th century by Professor Jigoro Kano. His new art was a distillation of Jujutsu techniques that could be practised at full force, safely. This art was created to be used by all, no matter of size, strength or gender. To be a form of self-defence using the two main principles:
- “Seiryoku Zenyo” – Maximum efficiency achieved with minimum effort
- “Jita Kyoei” – Mutual welfare and benefit
When an understanding of the physical principles of Judo has been reached, a sufficient amount of force applied in the correct fashion can throw any opponent, no matter how large or strong. With practice, Judo represents a problem-solving system with principles that may be applied to many facets of life.
