Peninsula Judo Club Inc, is an inclusive and friendly club.
The Dojo will focus on respectful training and education.
As well as learning Judo techniques, our students learn the theory behind Judo and a number of Japanese words which helps them in their understanding of the names of the techniques. Students are encouraged to represent the club in the regular competitions run by Judo Victoria.
The Peninsula Judo Club Inc teaches not only the physical aspects of judo but also the elements of the "Moral Code" that Dr Kano outlined.
These are:
Respect – This means respect to your coaches, other students and yourself
Self Control – In Judo you need to be in control at all times
Honour – You know the rules of judo so always follow them
Patience & Perseverance – Never give up
Honesty – Always tell the truth
Courage – Overcome your fears and learn that fear is a friend, reminding you that what you are doing, is important to you
Friendship – In judo you always help other students
Courtesy – In judo you bow to our founder, coach and other students
Humility – In judo you need to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat
All our members benefit from not just the physical elements of judo which will increase strength, balance, flexibility and fitness but also by following these guidelines, they improve their confidence, discipline and self-control.
The goals of the practice of judo are to perfect oneself physically, morally and mentally and then use those strengths for the good of society.
Peninsula Judo Club Inc acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and acknowledges and pays respect to their Elders, past and present.
