Judo is derived from Jujutsu.

It was created by Professor Jigoro Kano. The name Judo was chosen because it means the “gentle or yielding way”. It was introduced into the Olympic Games in 1964 and is practised by millions of people throughout the world today. It is best known for it’s spectacular throwing techniques but also involves considerable grappling on the ground utilising specialised pins, control holds, arm locks, and Judo choking techniques. It emphasises safety and full physical activity for top conditioning. It is learned on special mats for comfort and safety. Most martial artists also consider a sensei to be a life-long guide who provides students with physical, mental and even sometimes spiritual training.

Starting something new can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry, we’ve got you.

Judo is designed to be a progressive and rewarding journey, and there's a place for everyone on the mat.
