Judo

 

Courtesy, Courage, Sincerity, Honour, Respect and Friendship. Just as important as Tachi waza (throws) and Newaza (groundwork) techniques, Judo aims to inculcate these principal values into every single Judoka. Many people hesitate when thinking about picking up Judo, as they fear for their own safety. However, this cannot be further from the truth.

Judo (柔道) roughly translates to “Gentle Way” in Japanese. As the name suggests, Judo does not permit the use of punches or kicks. From day one of training, every Judoka is trained to safely break fall when being thrown. Furthermore, Judo is a sport where everyone of various sizes can join, with weight categories ranging from under 50kg up to 90kg. Your current fitness level does not stop you from joining us, as Judo is a great sport to build muscle and maintain a strong healthy body. Raffles Judo (RAJU) welcomes all with open arms!
