We focus on technical and personal development, with discipline required to become a well-rounded sportsperson, with a proven track record up to Australian, International & Olympic level.
Judo is an art of self-defense that has developed into an international sport. It is a school sport in Japan, modeled as a way of becoming physically and mentally fit through disciplined training and was the first martial art to be introduced into the Olympic Games (1964) and the Commonwealth Games (1990).
The sport of Judo was derived as a safer alternative from the ancient form of ‘ju-jitsu’and is designed so that it can be practiced by all ages…both male and female. Judo does not involve any kicking or striking techniques, but utilizes throwing and grappling through tactical plays. It is practiced with safety in mind, training on mats and participants are taught to fall correctly. Falling safely is also crucial to participating in many other sports later in life. Flexibility, stretching and strength exercises are part of a normal training session.
The KIDO ACADEMY was built with a sprung permanent mat area and is often visited by international teams. It is an excellent activity to increase physical fitness, self-esteem, self-defense and can be practiced without the need to compete in tournaments.
As well as fun and fitness; KIDO instructors teach judo etiquette, focus on technical, personal development and reinforcing the respect required to become a well-rounded sportsperson.
