Judo — the

gentle way

Judo — which means “The Gentle Way” in Japanese — is a mar-
tial art, an Olympic sport and a self-defence system developed in
the late 19th century by Jigoro Kano. It emphasizes throws, pins and
submission techniques.
Brandon’s Judokan Judo Club meets twice weekly — on Mon-
days and Wednesdays — to learn and practise judo in a fun and safe
environment. Kids’ classes are at 6:30 p.m., and adult classes are at
7:30 p.m.
Registration begins Sept. 4.
