| Judo can be enjoyed by anyone male or female from 6 to 60. It offers physical fitness, self discipline, self defense. It helps you develop self respect and self confidence. Judo uses a belt grading system and was the first martial art to implement this type of system. Our belt system ranges from white belt to black belt with kids under the age of 13 using a half belt ranking system. The colors go from white/yellow, yellow/orange, orange green and green/ blue. All techniques and throws and taught in Japanese, this way if the student travels to another club in another country he or she will understand what the techniques are. Beside that the kids have fun learning a little bit of a new and different language. Every year we have a number of local, provincial and inter-provincial tournaments. This is a great opportunity for the students to go to new places and meet new people. |
