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.
There are videos where techniques are reviewed and explained, but they will never replace the instruction given during a judo class in a dojo. These videos are mainly uploaded to allow for review, as they can be watched and rewatched without limits. The Judo Canada Channel is a great reference.
These are 8 values established by Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, which lie at the heart of the practice. Just as you need to learn and practice your techniques, you also need to learn and live by the moral code.
The 8 values are: Courage, Friendship, Modesty, Self-Control, Sincerity, Politeness, Respect, and Honor.

It takes a lot of practice and perseverance! Don’t give up, you’re here to learn. The best athletes didn’t become the best in just a few weeks!
The best way will always be to experience it yourself! Many clubs offer trial classes. Inquire with your club or the one you’re interested in trying with your friend.
Yes, I’d be happy to share it with you, it can be found in the section TOOLBOX FOR CLUBS of Judo Canada’s website.
