Judo, meaning "gentle way," originated in Japan in 1882 and was founded by Jigoro Kano as a physical, mental, and moral pedagogy. Evolving into a modern martial art and Olympic sport, Judo focuses on various techniques such as throws, takedowns, immobilization, and submission holds. It also incorporates elements of self-defence against strikes and weapons, primarily practiced in pre-arranged forms (kata) and controlled sparring (randori).
The legacy of Judo's founder, Jigoro Kano, plays a significant role in the teachings and philosophy embraced by Champion Judo Club. Kano's commitment to education, discipline, and personal growth serves as a guiding influence in the club's training programs and approach to developing well-rounded individuals on and off the mat. Through the practice of Judo, members are encouraged to embody the principles of respect, perseverance, and continuous self-improvement.
At Champion Judo Club, the legacy of Jigoro Kano lives on through a community of dedicated practitioners, coaches, and supporters who share a passion for Judo and a commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all.
