About the Class
The objective to competitive Judo is to throw an opponent, immobilize them with a pin, or force an opponent to subbmit with a joint lock or a choke. Judo's philosophy revolves around two primary principles: "Seiryoku-Zenyo" ( 'good use of energy') and "Jita-Kyoei" ( 'mutual welfare and benefit').
