Summer vacation is over, and we are back to our usual routine.
If you are considering a new activity to improve your physical fitness, we would like to introduce you to Judo.
Judo originated in Japan and has become one of the most popular martial arts in the world. (Fran Garrigos of Team Daedo won the bronze medal at this year’s Paris Olympics 2024!)
Here are three advantages of starting Judo:
1. A Sport Where Height and Build Do Not Matter
Judo is a sport where a smaller person can defeat a larger person. By mastering attacking and defensive techniques and performing them well, you can win or lose a match regardless of your size.
2. Mental and Physical Training
In addition to physical conditioning, Judo also teaches courtesy and respect. Judo emphasizes appreciating your opponent. Even as rivals, practitioners develop a spirit of sportsmanship and gratitude, which fosters personal growth.
3. Making Friends
Judo is a sport that relies on an opponent, making it a great way to meet and socialize with others. Training in Judo provides an opportunity to connect with people and creates a community outside of school or work.
What Do You Need to Start Judo?
Starting Judo is quite simple. All you need is a Judogi (uniform) and a belt, that’s it!
Judogi prices vary by manufacturer, but if you are new to Judo, Daedo’s JUDOGI for beginners (JU1108) is an excellent choice.
It is affordably priced for beginners and available in a wide range of sizes for both children and adults.
