What is Judo?
Is a Olympic sport, a art, a discipline, a recreational or social activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense or combat, and a way of life. It is all of these and more. Kodokan Judo comes to us from the fighting system of feudal Japan. Founded in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, Judo is a refinement of the ancient martial art of Ju-Jitsu. Dr. Kano, President of the University of Education in Tokyo, studied these ancient forms and integrated what he considered to be the best of their techniques into what is now the modern sport of Judo. Judo was introduced into the Olympic Games in 1964 and is practiced by millions of people throughout the world today. People practice Judo to excel in competition, to stay in shape, to develop self-confidence, and for many other reasons. But most of all, people practice Judo just for the love of the sport.

Jimmy practiced the sport
of Judo as a child in the Dominican Republic for several years. Jimmy stopped training in Judo when he left the Dominican Republic to live in the United States. His lack of activities and exercise led him to be 400 lbs. Jimmy knew he had to get his weight under control and wanted to lead a healthier lifestyle. He decided to return to the martial arts and sport he loved as a child...JUDO. Jimmy is now half the size he was before!
