We follow Prof. Jigoro Kano’s - the founder of judo – primary belief that judo is more than a martial art. We believe that judo is a catalyst to bettering oneself and society as a whole. We maintain that anybody, regardless of age, race, religion or background should be able to practice and learn judo as an education and work towards becoming the best versions of themselves in an environment that brings all together as equals. We fully support each personal goal a student may have, whatever that may be.
We maintain judo’s founding principle – Serikyoku Zenyo. Translated into English, the principle stands for ‘Maximum Efficient with Minimum Effort’. Initially used to describe how technique and skill could defeat an opponent, the principle is also a guide to be applied to all types of endeavours encouraging the full utilisation of one’s spiritual and physical energies to realise an intended purpose and therefore encourage all to make the best use of both their body and mind.
