If you’re looking for a new sport or just a want a new way of getting fit why not try judo?
Judo is a modern martial art and combat sport created in Japan in 1882 by Dr Kano Jigoro.
Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw or takedown one’s opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one’s opponent with a grappling manoeuvre, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking or by executing a strangle hold or choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defences are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata ) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice (randori ).
If you’re interested in trying judo why not call Paul on (086 ) 3587953 or Noel on (087 ) 9159302. Training takes place every Monday and Wednesday for both children and adults in Blyry Industrail Estate.
