Common Questions About Judo Training
Everything you need to know about starting your Judo journey
Is Judo good for fitness?
Absolutely! Judo provides a complete full-body workout through throws, movement, and partner drills. You'll build strength, improve flexibility, enhance cardiovascular fitness, and develop better balance and coordination - all while learning practical martial arts skills.
Do I need to be fit to start Judo?
Not at all! Judo is completely beginner-friendly, and you'll naturally get fit as you train. Our classes are designed to accommodate all fitness levels, and you'll gradually build strength and endurance through practice.
How is Judo different from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
While both are grappling arts, Judo emphasizes throws, balance, and standing techniques, while BJJ focuses more on ground fighting. Judo training involves more dynamic movement and is excellent for developing explosive power and agility.
Is Judo a good alternative to the gym?
Yes! Judo offers everything a gym does and more - it's active, social, skill-based, and keeps you motivated through constant learning. Instead of repetitive exercises, you're mastering techniques while getting an amazing workout with a supportive community.
Is Judo safe for beginners?
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. All students learn proper breakfalls (ukemi) before advancing to throwing techniques. Our certified instructors ensure everyone trains safely and progresses at their own pace.
What should I expect in my first class?
Your first class will focus on basic movements, balance, and simple techniques. You'll wear comfortable workout clothes, learn some fundamental skills, and get a feel for our welcoming community. No pressure - just fun learning!
