Something about my sport

More than just a combat sport, Judo offers students a code of ethics that is, a way of living and being. It is a part of the physical education program of numerous junior high and high schools, colleges, training centers, and clubs around the world where people are discovering the way of life known as judo.

Judo practice skills and techniques
 A student practicing Judo is called a Judoka, while a Judo teacher is called Sensei, meaning “one who came before.” This is a reminder that anyone can become a Sensei with time and practice and that the job of the Sensei is to instruct his students as he was taught by his former Sensei.
 Demanding great physical prowess and mental discipline, techniques and skills practiced in Judo include:

• Lifting and throwing opponents onto their back
• Pinning opponents down to the ground
• Controlling opponents
• Applying different chokeholds or joint locks until submission

Benefits of practising it:

• Developing physical fitness
• Growth in strength and flexibility
• Increased speed and agility

 Beyond the physical, Judo students learn:

• To control their feelings, emotions, and impulses

• The value of a solid work ethic
