Judo

Judo, the "gentle way", is a dynamic martial art and Olympic sport. Founded by Japanese school teacher Jigoro Kano in 1882. It focuses on leverage and technique to overcome strength, teaching one to use the opponent's energy and turn it into an advantage. Judo uses throws, joint locks, chokes and pins, making it both a physically challenging and mentally stimulating discipline. Beyond self-defense, it instills values like respect, humility, and perseverance, fostering personal growth both on and off the mat.
