Judo is many things to different people. It is a fun sport, an art, a discipline, a recreational or social
activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense or combat, and a way of life. It is all of these and more. Kodokan Judo comes to us from the fighting system of feudal Japan. Founded in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, Judo
is a refinement of the ancient martial art of Jujutsu. Dr. Kano, President of the University of Education, Tokyo, studied
these ancient forms and integrated what he considered to be the best of their techniques into what is now the modern sport
of Judo. Judo was introduced into the Olympiad in 1964 and is practiced by millions of people throughout the world today.
People practice Judo to excel in competition, to stay in shape, to develop self-confidence, and for many other reasons. But
most of all, people do Judo just for the fun of it. Judo is best known for it's spectacular throws but also involves strong matwork utilizing pins/holddowns,
control holds, arm locks, and Judo choking techniques. Judo emphasizes safety, and full physical activity for top conditioning.
Here in the New Breed Judo and Sombo club we firmly believe in a 50/50 approach to our training. We highly value Tachiwaza(standing
throws), but firmly believe in the practice of Newaza(matwork/groundfighting). New Breed Judo stresses the transition phase
in between the throw and the opponent hitting the ground. This is usually where the best opportunity to gain an advantage
presents itself, so we focus on being versed in this range as well. Judo is unique in that all age groups, both sexes, and most disabled persons can participate together in learning
and practicing the sport. Judo is an inexpensive, year-round activity, that appeals to people from all walks of life. Many
people over sixty years of age enjoy the sport, as well as very young boys and girls. Judo develops self-discipline and respect for oneself and others. Judo provides the means for learning self-confidence,
concentration, and leadership skills, as well as physical coordination, power, and flexibility. As a sport that has evolved
from a fighting art, it develops complete body control, fine balance, and fast reflexive action. Above all, it develops a
sharp reacting mind well-coordinated with the same kind of body. Judo training gives a person an effective self-defense system
if the need arises. Judo has a colored belt rank system. Here at New Breed Judo and Sombo Club we follow the USJA(United States Judo
Association)Rank system for both Juniors(16 years of age and younger)and Seniors(17 years of age and older). The Junior and
Senior corresponding ranks follow below as set forth by the USJA. USJA Junior Judo Ranks Judo is best defined as the "supple way", although it is usually translated as the "gentle way". Judo teaches
you to be mallable in your application of technique. Technique, timing, skill, balance, and posture are heavily
valued over the use of raw strength. Judo teaches you to "yield" to your opponents force and aggression, rather
than to meet it head on. The principles of Judo, such as "Maximum Efficiency" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit", can also be used in our
dealings with others in 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.
