It is the aim of the Abbotsford Judo Club to further the physical, mental and technical development of individuals seeking to learn the sport of Judo. JUDO is.. "The way of gentleness rather than brute force." Judo is both an art and a sport, a means of defence, and equally, a means of offence. Like ju-jitsu, its forerunner, judo is a method of turning an opponent's strength against himself, thus defeating him in the most efficient manner. Judo was formulated as a new system of bare-handed fighting in 1882 by Professor Jigoro Kano, a student of ju-jitsu who founded the Kodokan Judo Institute in Tokyo. Judo means "the way of gentleness, " and utilizes the very best of the ju-jitsu techniques, eliminating the harmful ones and modifying others so that they can be practised safely. It exercises a benign effect on all the faculties of the student (young and old), and in emergencies can be used for self-defence. In a narrow sense, judo can be defined as the study of the maximum use of the body and mind for the purpose of attack and defence. In a wider sense, the principles of judo can be applied to all affairs of life. The ultimate objective of judo is the perfection of one's self by the systematic training of the mind and body through exercise so that each works in harmony with the other. Judo training can result in self-confidence in a variety of situations, self-discipline and respect for one's self and others. It provides a unique recreational opportunity and can be practised by any healthy individual. Recreational Judo is training which can improve one's aerobic capacity (endurance), speed, power, strength and flexibility. One hour of Judo burns calories equal to one hour of jogging. Recreational Judo yields all the benefits possible in regular participation without a competitive emphasis. It is a safe, fun activity for people of all ages, but especially for children.
