Budo Judo Club

Congratulations to all the newly promoted members! Great job fellas!!

Controlling how an opponent moves is vital to success in judo, as well as in any other combat sport. Judo is movement. A judo practitioner must be able to control how his own body moves but has the added burden of controlling how his opponent moves as well. Making your opponent move the way you want him to and controlling as much of what goes on in a judo match determine who wins and who loses. Make no mistake about it: judo is one of the toughest sports ever.

Budo Judo recently welcomed a young judoka. Like father, like son—here’s to the start of an inspiring journey! 🥋 "

"Judo Techniques Rely on Both Power and Skill"

"Some people mistakenly believe that power is bad in judo—that good technique does not require power. In fact, the opposite is true. Power is necessary for technical skill. Anything that requires energy to perform, including the application of a judo technique, requires power. There must be some source of energy that makes things happen, and power is that source of energy. Power is the application of physical strength (force) combined with speed and the controlled direction of movement (velocity). " Steve Scott

Judo, developed by Professor Jigoro Kano, is a martial art that emphasizes moral and physical education. Kano, who founded judo from the traditional jujitsu, believed in a scientific principle of higher mind and body strength. He reformed jujitsu's moral and physical aspects, making it a method to train the body and spirit. His work at the Kodokan, his judo school, was revolutionary, teaching methods of self-defense without brute strength. Judo promotes the values of restraint, efficient use of energy, and moral character, making it more than just a sport—it's a way of life that enhances the individual and society.

Big congratulations to everyone at our Judo Club for their belt promotions! Each one of you has shown remarkable dedication, discipline, and spirit. Whether it's the transition from white to yellow, yellow to orange, or beyond, each new belt represents not just a level of skill, but a journey of growth, resilience, and community.

A special shoutout to our coaches and training partners for their unwavering support and guidance. Together, we're not just a club; we're a family. Here's to many more achievements and the continued journey in Judo. Let's keep pushing our limits and supporting each other on and off the mat.
