Head Judo Instructor, My Nguyen, was a Judo champion in Vietnam. She has many years of experience in training and coaching Judo for all ages. Besides her, other instructors are David Agama and Andrew Mukai and Nancy Nguyen

      Judo, which means "The Gentle Way", is a Japanese martial art based upon the ancient techniques of jujutsu. Dr. Jigoro Kano, President of the University of Education in Tokyo, developed judo in 1882. Dr. Kano, who had studied jujutsu , incorporated the best of these ancient techniques into the new art of Judo. Dr. Kano subsequently founded the Kodokan in Tokyo, Japan as an place to teach his new art.

      Judo is known for its spectacular throwing techniques but also includes numerous techniques for controlling an opponent while on the ground. Judo is often compared to freestyle wrestling and while the two share many techniques, Judo retains many dangerous self-defense maneuvers. A good judoka, one who practices Judo, will first use timing and leverage to bring his opponent off balance and execute a throw. Once the judoka has thrown his opponent to the ground, he will use painful hold-down techniques, chokes, strangleholds, and armlocks to control and subdue the opponent. If the opponent does not surrender, he will either have his elbow joint dislocated by means of an armlock or will be rendered unconscious with a chokehold. A judoka first learns "ukemi", the art of falling properly to avoid injury. All Judo practitioners wear a judogi and a belt. Judo is practiced on mats for safety.

The main principles of Judo are "Minimum Effort, Maximum Efficiency" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit." The goal of maximum efficiency teaches the judoka to use the least amount of physical strength necessary to throw an opponent. This is accomplished by proper use of technique and timing. The goal of mutual welfare and benefit was an extension of Dr. Kano's belief that Judo could help the individual become a better member of society. Dr. Kano felt that the personal discipline that Judo taught would extend beyond the dojo into daily life and could allow the judoka to become a more productive

Judo is a sport

In 1964, Judo became the first martial art to be sanctioned as a medal sport in the Olympic Games. Judo competitions are also held throughout the world

Other Aspects About Judo

People practice Judo for many different reasons such as exercise, self-defense, a social activity, and for many practitioners, Judo becomes a way of life. But if you ask most judoka why they train Judo, they will say that they practice Judo because it is fun. Judo is a great exercise routine. It promotes flexibility, develops speed and co-ordination, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and promotes balanced muscular development. Many Judo techniques can also be employed as a means of self-defense. The throws and chokes of Judo are particularly effective if one is forced to deal with an assailant. Judo ranks are awarded for developing proficiency in certain techniques and for regular practice. All judoka begin as white belts. Over time, they may earn a yellow belt, orange belt, green belt, blue belt, three degrees of brown belt, and finally a black belt. 

Etiquette is an important part of the sport of judo. Players are expected to respect their practice partners, opponents, their instructors, coaches, the referees and officials at tournaments. 

JUDO - FITNESS AND SELF- DEFENSE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

JUDO - A GENTLE WAY TO OVERCOME A STRONGER OPPONENT!

JUDO- A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY!

SAN JOSE JUDO ACADEMY

Đây là 10 điều tâm niệm mà mỗi võ sinh Jūdō phải thuộc lòng:

  1. Tôn trọng kỉ luật, nội quy nhà trường.
  2. Kính thầy yêu bạn, bênh vực người yếu đuối, thế cô.
  3. Kính trọng các bạn trong môn phái võ nghệ khác.
  4. Ngoài những trận đấu giao hữu, tuyệt nhiên không thách đấu với bất kì ai.
  5. Thắng không kiêu, bại không nản, lúc nào cũng phải bình tĩnh.
  6. Chỉ tự vệ trong trường hợp bị tấn công, nhưng luôn dung thứ người thất thế.
  7. Luôn luôn tự rèn luyện để thân thể khỏe mạnh, tư tưởng ngay thẳng trong sạch khoan dung, tính nết nhẫn nhục, nhu hào và kiên trì.
  8. Nghe lời nói tư lợi thì ngoảnh mặt đi, khi bàn việc công thì băng mình tới.
  9. Thà chịu thiệt hại còn hơn làm điều hèn nhát, bất công.
  10. Mục tiêu của võ sinh Jūdō là Nhân-Trí-Dũng

Người luyện môn Jūdō khi còn được học ở võ đường hay khi đã vào đời phải luôn luôn ghi nhớ những điều tam niệm để tu thân, hành xử việc đời và giúp ích cho xã hội

 Huan luận viên THUYMY NGUYEN, NANCY NGUYEN, ANDREW MUKAI.

  • 10 năm kinh nghiệm giảng dạy Judo cho mọi lứa tuổi.
  • Đã đạt nhieu huy chương vàng trong các giải vo dich
  • Đai đen 4 đẳng.

1. Bạn có muốn được tập luyện các cách té để giúp giảm bớt những chấn thương do bị va chạm và trượt ngã?

2. Bạn có muốn tăng thêm sức khỏe, dẻo dai, tăng sức đề kháng, giảm đau các khớp, giảm stress, giảm cholesterol... và lạc quang yêu đời?

3. Và hơn hết, bạn có muốn tự vệ cho chính mình và bảo vệ người thân của mình trong những lúc cần thiết nhất?

Xin hãy đến tập Nhu Đạo tại võ đường SAN JOSE JUDO ACADEMY. Nơi đây, các bạn sẽ được tập luyện các cách thức té cũng như những đòn thế để tự vệ. Tôi tin rằng, võ đường SJ JUDO ACADEMY sẽ mang đến cho các bạn những bài tập luyện đầy chất lượng nhất.

Có những suy nghĩ cho rằng, võ thuật chỉ thích hợp cho phái nam. Nhưng với Judo, lại càng thích hợp cho phái yeu, người nhỏ nhắn hay những người óm yếu. Vì Nhu Đạo, bản thân của môn võ này chỉ dùng Nhu để thắng Cương chứ không dùng sức mạnh để chống lại sức mạnh. Cho nên, Nhu Đạo rất thích hợp với mọi người, đặc biệt là trẻ em và phụ nữ. Mọi người hãy nên trang bị cho mình sức khỏe để tự vệ cho chính mình và cho những người than yeu.

Huan luyen vien My Nguyen, la mot van dong vien Judo vo dich o vietnam se truc tiep giang day Judo cho cac hoc vien. Hay den de xem, suy nghiem va cung tap thu Nhu Dao voi chung toi.

Xin tran trong,

My Nguyen
