What is Judo?
Judo has a wide range of appeal as a sport, an art, a discipline, a recreational pastime, a social activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense, and a way of life.
One of the distinguishing aspects of judo is how its basic values and principles translate into a way of life. What is learned on the mat through hard judo training transfers at home, at school, at work or at play.
These values include:
-
playing by the rules
-
co-operating with others
-
respecting self and others
-
self-discipline and humility
-
self-confidence and commitment
-
perseverance and determination
-
concentrating and controlling emotions
