The Way of Gentleness and Power

Judo, which means "The Gentle Way," is a dynamic martial art that emphasizes throws, takedowns, and ground control rather than strikes. At Silvera Karate Jitsu, our Judo program teaches students how to use balance, leverage, and timing to control an opponent with skill instead of strength.

Developed by Jigoro Kano, Judo is both a modern Olympic sport and a powerful system of self-defense. Students learn how to fall safely, execute clean throws, and apply pins and submissions in a respectful, disciplined setting.

Whether you're training for fitness, fun, self-defense, or competition, Judo offers an exciting and practical path for growth. It’s excellent for both kids and adults, promoting physical fitness, respect, and inner discipline.

What Students Learn:

• Safe falling techniques (ukemi)

• Powerful hip and foot throws

• Pins and positional control

• Joint locks and chokes (for advanced students)

• Balance, coordination, and mental focus
