Why Judo

The benefits of Judo for everyone cannot be easily categorized as each individual develops his or her own uniquely. How it can benefit from casual practitioner to world class athlete can become a life changing experience. Judo can be a fitness cornucopia without the repetitive boredom of the fitness club. It requires skills that challenge the mind as well as the body. It gives everyone a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem, especially beneficial to children and young adults. Judo requires self discipline and these qualities can be developed and honed and this carries on to all aspects of life. Be not misled. While Judo offers all this and more, it requires a spark of determination that can be guided by parents to youth, encouraged by the instructors, and to some degree, from within the heart of the adult. Unfortunately some people do come to Judo thinking that with their very presence in class they will quickly absorb its skills. Accomplishments in Judo are earned, and therein lie the reward.

  Here at Kazoku Budokan we offer both sport and classical training. The opportunity is there, from beginning Judo to cutting edge National competition.  We also realize that there are many mature adults that, because of age, jobs, or family responsibilities do not wish to enter into sport Judo and yet, would like to derive the benefits and challenges of Judo. Kazoku Budokan is offering a program the goal of which is learning and performing katas. Participants will go through most of the basic learning skills and advance to learning the various katas. Judo kata is performed with a partner and is a skill that can continuously be developed. You can go from learning the katas for your own pleasure to competing in tournaments. Some of the very best teams are made up of judoka past their prime for sport Judo and yet they manage to surpass the younger competition because of their skill and precision.

Whatever your age, ability, or goals, come fly with us in Judo.
