Judo-Club Frankfurt/Main (JC FFM) e.V.

Judo is a fascinating martial art from Japan that has gained millions of fans worldwide. It is based on the principle of 'winning through yielding', where an opponent's energy and movements are used to bring them down and under control. Judo has its roots in ancient Japanese self-defense techniques but has evolved into a popular competitive sport, recognized as an Olympic sport since 1964. In addition to its technical aspects, Judo also emphasizes a moral principle of mutual respect and responsibility between training partners. It aims to develop self-control, helpfulness, and respect, promoting the strengthening of harmonious relationships and the development of one's personality. Judo is practiced by people of all ages and backgrounds, whether as a hobby, competitive sport, or lifestyle, and offers something for everyone.
