Company description
We are a Judo club in George in the Garden Route. We offer judo classes from the age of 4 up.
Judo, which is translated the “gentle way”, teaches the principle of flexibility in the application of technique. This is the flexible or efficient use of balance, leverage and movement in the performance of Judo throws and other skills. In Judo there are no kicking, punching, striking or application of pressure against the joints to throw an opponent.
The principles of Judo, such as “Maximum Efficiency” and “Mutual Welfare and Benefit”, can also be used in our dealings with others en life.
The ultimate goal in Judo is to develop oneself to the maximum extent possible, always striving for perfection, so that you can contribute something of value to the world.
Judo combines techniques of Jiu-jitsu, karate, wrestling and its own highly perfected techniques. It uses the hands, arms, body, legs and feet to defeat an opponent.
Judo techniques do not reject strength as long as it is efficiently applied in a highly controlled manner. The application of strength as used in Judo is multiplied in effectiveness to point where a weaker opponent of Judo can beat a larger and stronger opponent.
