What is Judo? The originator of judo, Jigoro Kano, founded the Kodokan in Tokyo in 1882 to teach judo as a martial art. He then set out to educate people worldwide in the benefits of judo for everyone, for life. Judo has evolved and developed into an Olympic sport. It provides a large number of Canadians of all ages with a form of physical exercise and mental approach for recreation and enriching their lives.


Ju = supple, flexible

Do = way

"Judo", which translates to "the way of suppleness", was developed based on two key principles: maximum efficiency and mutual welfare. Judo gained popularity quickly because many people liked its emphasis on subduing rather than overpowering an opponent or causing injury. Judo uses a belt ranking system to recognize the competency of judoka according to their skill level.
