Why Practise Judo?

One may not realize it but Judo emphasizes safety and full physical activity for top conditioning. Judo is learned on special mats to enable safety and comfort. After all, safety is priority. Besides safety, Judo also develops self-discipline and respect for oneself and others. It also provides the means for attaining self-confidence, concentration and leadership, as well as physical coordination, power, and flexibility.
As a sport that has evolved from a fighting at, it develops complete body control, fine balance, and fast reflexive action. Above all, it fosters a sharp reacting mind well-coordinated with the same kind of body. Judo training provides a person an effective self-defensive reaction when necessary.
Judo is unique in all age groups, both gender and most disabled people are too able to participate together in learning and practicing the sport. One major advantage of Judo is that it is an inexpensive, year-round activity, that appeals to people from all walks of life. People from very young children to those sixty years of age can too enjoy this amazing form of martial art. Judo is also often a part of the training carried out by athletes preparing for Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) matches.
With this said, does Judo seem a little more intriguing now? This is only the beginning of your knowledge of Judo though. There is definitely more to learn about!
