    WHAT IS JUDO?

    And what do you get from it?

     

    Participate in an internationally recognised Olympic sport.

     

    Develop your fitness levels and extend your endurance (or maybe just burn up that energy)!

     

    Improve your balance and learn to fall safely, no matter the situation.

     

    Great off-season cross training or complimentary training for football, netball, soccer, volleyball, or any other sport; focusing on how bodyweight positioning influences your own play style.

     

    Already practice a martial art? Judo can be the perfect martial art to compliment it, focusing on realistic applications and techniques.

     

    Judo is well-rounded, and has techniques in tachi-waza or standing work, (such as throwing and off-balancing) and ne-waza, or groundwork (such as hold downs, chokes and arm bars).

     

    A strong and effective way to build skills in self defence that don't rely on force or overpowering.
