• (柔道) Jūdō - Meaning the gentle way, Judo, is a Japanese martial art, philosophy, complete pedagogical education system and Olympic sport created by Dr. Jigoro Kano, former Japanese Minister of Education and Educational Pioneer. Judo emphasizes pliancy, and the capturing of an opponents balance and energy to execute spectacular throws, take-downs, ligament/joint locks, chokes, and pins to disarm and disable in self defense. In art form Judo shows how gentleness assuages aggressiveness, and pliancy endures strength to show controlled dynamic movements that inspire awe, fill the heart with courage, and instill compassion for our partners who train with us.
