Come and join Mannam Judo Club! You will learn an ancient martial art and have the opportunity to compete in tournaments. It's an excellent way to learn self-defense, develop self-confidence, and have a great workout.
Most importantly, you'll learn respect – both for yourself and for others. Judo means "The Gentle Way" and is simultaneously a martial art and a competitive sport, but one which emphasizes kindness and respect for one's opponent. In Judo, rather than trying to injure your opponent, you neutralize his aggression with skill and he defeats himself.
At the heart of Judo is respect. You respect your opponent, and through his neutralization your opponent gains respect for you. Furthermore, through not hurting your opponent, you gain self-respect. The deepest level of martial arts is not self-defense technique or sport, but a way of thinking. At Mannam Judo Club, you will learn Judo not only as a martial art and sport, but you will also learn to think in "The Gentle Way". Through practicing Judo the respect you learn for yourself and for others will become an important part of your life.
So come on! What are you waiting for?
