Judo is a complete sport. It challenges both your body and mind, improving your muscle strength, flexibility, agility, endurance, coordination, balance, focus, and emotional control.
By learning to master techniques that may sometimes seem impossible, you can see and feel your progress as you overcome both physical and emotional challenges.
Judo allows you to learn practical techniques to protect yourself, both standing and on the ground—it’s much more than just a spectacular sport! Being able to rely on yourself is empowering and reassuring.
The principles and values of the moral code apply just as much on the tatami as they do in everyday life.
Since we work in pairs, this teaches us to listen, collaborate and respect our partners.
Judo stimulates your mind: concentration, reflection, strategy development, learning to adapt.

Of course! Many women hold black belts, and many are high-ranked, with 6th dan and beyond! The grading system is the same for all practitioners.
