You may already know that Judo<\/strong> is a martial art originally created in Japan. What separates judo from other martial arts like Karate or Tae Kwon Do, however, is that Judo<\/strong> is designed specifically with sport competition in mind.<\/p>\n

Whereas sparring in other martial arts generally requires use of pads and other protective equipment or light contact (pulling of punches or kicks), Judo<\/strong> techniques can be performed at full speed and full force while maintaining safety.<\/p>\n

Judo<\/strong> in Japanese means \u201cthe gentle way,\u201d and is known as such because many of the techniques in Judo rely on giving way to the force of your opponent. Don\u2019t be fooled, however, by the term \u201cgentle.\u201d Judo<\/strong> is an intense sport, a wonderful form of exercise, and can be adapted to serve as effective a powerful form of self-defense.<\/p>\n

The principles of Judo<\/strong> are based on both maximum efficiency with minimum effort and mutual welfare and benefit. The end result is the accomplishment of a goal with the best use of energy. Success in Judo<\/strong> depends upon the skill of using an opponent\u2019s own weight and strength against them. Judo<\/strong> techniques include throws, the most spectacular and recognizable elements of judo, as well as grappling techniques such as pins, chokes and arm locks. Perhaps most importantly, Judoka (a person who practices or is an expert in Judo) must learn to fall properly. Judo<\/strong> falling techniques not only protect a judoka\u2019s precious internal organs from the powerful throws of efficacious opponents, but are also extremely useful when rollerblading, biking, free-style walking, curling, or hurdling fences.<\/p>\n

Judo<\/strong> was founded by Dr. Jigoro Kano<\/strong> in 1882. In creating Judo<\/strong>, Kano drew techniques from Jiu Jitsu<\/strong><\/a> that could be used safely in sport competition and that also subscribed the principle of seiryoku zenyo, meaning maximum efficiency through minimum effort. According to this principle, all Judo<\/strong> techniques are best performed when the desired effect is produced with the minimal possible expenditure of effort. Although Professor Kano died in 1938, Judo<\/strong> has since spread rapidly around the world. The first World Championships were held in 1953, and by 1964, Judo<\/strong> was included in Olympic Games. Judo\u2019s<\/strong> sport popularity has led its physical and competitive aspects to dominate, but it should first and foremost remain a way of life.<\/p>\n

At Renzo Gracie Fort Lee, we provide Adult Judo<\/strong> classes and Kids Judo<\/strong> classes for our students.<\/p>\n

Our Kids Judo and Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu<\/strong> classes range in age from 5 to 13 years old.  We initially try to develop the child’s focus at hand. Then we move on to martial arts discipline and movement attributes. As they grow and mature, we place special emphasis on attribute development and technique refinement.
