Judo As a Form of Self Defense

Looking for a physical challenge that requires mental discipline?

Want to be able to protect yourself?

Compared to something like jujutsu, judo is a more physically demanding style of martial arts, combining throws, groundwork and conditioning. Judo is made up of three different facets: randori (free practice), kata (forms) and competition. Randori includes throws, pins, grappling, and joint locks, and allows judo players to try their techniques in real time. Kata practice focuses on predetermined techniques to increase your mental focus, discipline, and understanding of movement principles. In competition, you can enter tournaments and test your skills against others. JMAC has produced local, regional and national champions.

Some skills from judo can be used to protect yourself as well. In a close-range combat scenario, an attacker might find themselves on the ground, looking up at the judo player they tried to injure!

See how jujutsu can help with self defense!
