Mission Statement:
Our mission is to, "teach Kodokan Judo and develop Judokas to be champions on the mat as well in life."
The purpose and aim of the Dojo is to introduce Judo (Kodokan Judo) to the public and seek a broader knowledge and deeper understanding of this Japanese Art and Olympic Sport. Teaching the life values of Judo and creating a spirit of sportsmanship, character building, promoting good citizenship, thus bringing about a better understanding among our fellow men and women, are the main goals of the Dojo.
JUDO Program:
The Judo program we conduct is technically Kodokan Judo. The originator of modern sport Judo is Dr. Jigoro Kano who formulated sport Judo from the techniques of the feudal art of Jujitsu over 90 years ago. Judo's popularity has spread exponentially throughout the world and has been an Olympic Sport for many years. Aside from the Nanka sponsored area tournaments, Junior, High School, Collegiate, Senior and Masters National Judo Championships are held annually. Judo is also included in the Infantile and Adult Pan-American Games, the Collegiate World Judo Championship, the World Judo Championships (yearly, except for Olympic years), and in the Olympics. Recently, Judo has been included in the Paralympics and in the International Blind Sports Federation's (IBSA) Championships.
The seven official Kodokan Judo Katas are an essential aspect of Judo training and are included in competitions.
