About Judo
Are you aware that judo encompasses many other martial arts such as Aikido, JuJitsu, Karate and Kendo. So, do come and join us
if you practice another martial art.
Kanō Jigorō (10 December 1860– 4 May 1938) was a Japanese judoka, educator, politician, and the founder of judo. Judo was one of the first Japanese martial arts to gain widespread international recognition, and the first to become an official Olympic sport. Pedagogical innovations attributed to Kanō include the use of black and white belts, and the introduction of dan ranking to show the relative ranking among members of a martial-art-style.
Well-known mottoes attributed to Kanō include "maximum efficiency minimal effort" (seiryoku zen'yō) and "mutual welfare and benefit" (jita kyōei).
