Martial Arts: Judo @ Bluegrass Budokai, Kentucky

Judo is the refinement of ancient art of Jujitsu. The founder of judo was Dr. Jigaro Kano. Dr. Kano, founded Judo after he studied several of the forms of Jujitsu and realized that this training was effective for both training the mind and body and spirit.

"While studying Judo, not only did I find it interesting, but also realized that it was most effective for the training of both body and mind. By taking together all of the good points I had learned by the various schools of jujitsu and adding together my own inventions and discoveries, I devised a new system for physical culture and moral training as well for winning contests. I call this Judo."

Bluegrass Budokai continues this passion of training both body and mind by having classes that are physical and by encouraging everyone to educate themselves on other aspects of Judo. In class you will spend time learning both Tachi Waza (standing technique) and Ne-Waza (ground technique) and combine both in Randori (free practice). All training, both standing and groundwork will be further studied and focused training will look in different areas such as chokes, joint locks, hip throws, foot throws and others. Our training is not focused on training for competitions, and the many "rules" and regulations by which they are guided. Rather our Judo is focused on sincere, vigorous training so that our practitioners are prepared to handle situations both from a martial/tactical perspective as well as a more calm, confident approach to life as a whole.
