Benefits from Judo:


The physical attributes of judo training for the individual tackle all of the following issues:

  • core strength/stability,

  • both fine and gross motor skill development,

  • increased cardiovascular strength,

  • coordination,

  • physical confidence,

  • balance,

  • general fitness and

  • social interaction    

  • Self discipline with a moral perspective on fair play and cooperation with peers in working towards a mutual goal - skill improvement!

Judo is a combat sport where all the skills are fully tested by the individual student in a controlled and carefully orchestrated manor in accordance with their level by the teacher. These skills can then be turn to self-defense if so required (although not encouraged at school!). There are no blows or kicks within Judo. Violence is strickly prohibited and the rules and spirit of Judo are followed to encourage a possitive training experience. Gleeson Judo is concerned, as was Kano was, only with the Physical Education elements of Judo.
