Nage Komi Judo Club

Judo is a modern martial art and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. It is a dynamic combat sport that requires both physical strength and mental discipline. From a standing position, it involves techniques that allow you to throw your opponent onto the ground. On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin your opponent down, to control them or apply chokeholds or joint locks. Anyone who is looking to improve their confidence, mental strength, fitness levels, physical strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility would benefit from learning Judo techniques. The throws, holds, and avoidance techniques used in judo are an effective form of self-defense training and help lower the risk of injury in other sports by teaching safe falling techniques.
