About

Judo is best known for its throwing techniques but also includes numerous techniques for controlling an opponent while on the ground. A good judoka, one who practices Judo, will first use timing and leverage to bring his opponent off balance and execute a throw, and then immobilize with grappling maneuvers or submit with arm locks and choke holds. This class will foster general fitness and well-being, and develop real-world safety and self-defense strategies, all while improving physical fitness, flexibility, strength, coordination, and agility.
