Judo was founded by Jigoro Kano in Japan around 1882, where he combined and adapted various techniques from traditional Japanese martial arts, primarily jujutsu, to create a new system focused on using an opponent's strength against them, emphasizing self-defense and physical education rather than solely combat; he named it "Judo," meaning "the gentle way." 

Judo is a Japanese martial art founded by Jigoro Kano that focuses on using throwing techniques, grappling and ground work.

Judo is not just about techniques or self defense - it's a competitive way to improve mental discipline and physical fitness. It emphasizes values such as respect, control and perseverance. In judo you learn how to throw, pin and submit your opponent using precise techniques, all while maintaining a focus on safety and mutual respect. 

We believe that any person, young or old, fit or not: has the ability to create a lifestyle that is sustainable, healthy and competitive. Our goal is to foster a community that cultivates health, personal growth and develops martial art mindset through holistic training, consistency and collaboration.
