What We Do
Judo, meaning the gentle way, is a form of Japanese martial arts with roots in Jujitsu that was taught to the samurai. Its primary function is to harness the opponent’s force and use it against them with throws and pinning techniques. Some basic principles we teach include:
精力善用 Seiryoku Zenyo
It is a key principle in Judo that teaches combatants to achieve maximum efficiency using minimal effort.
自他共栄 Jita Kyoei
It is another key principle in Judo that teaches combatants mutual benefit and welfare for yourself and others.
自然体 Shizentai
It is the basic form combatants use by having an upright posture, loose limbs that can easily shift at any moment, and a wide stance for balance.
礼儀 Courtesy
Courtesy is taught and promoted to show respect to your sensei and opponent. This in turn creates a state of harmony and allows each combatant to act nobly.
