Course Description

Judo was developed in 1882 by Professor Jigoro Kano from the techniques of Jujitsu because he felt that Jujitsu was too aggressive. It allows one to make use of an opponent's strength to defeat him, relying on defence, not attack. It can be practised by anyone regardless of age or sex. As a beginner, a student will learn the basic techniques and attend a grading test at the end of the course. He then will earn his first mon/kyu belt. After that, it is the advanced dan (black belt) course.
