Judo and self-defense

Judo is a martial art originally from Japan, founded in 1882 by Japanese professor Jigoro Kano. The UNESCO and the OMS declare Judo as the best initial sport for children and young adults, ages 4 to 21, and lifelong practice considering necessary modifications. Benefits of judo are diverse both motor skills wise and psychologically: it develops basic motor skills, promotes locomotor system development, students learn to know and master their own body and it improves decision making skills. This year we will also offer our Secondary students self-defense activities in which they will not only learn techniques but also to be good people and to help others.

We participate in exhibitions, championships sponsored by the Madrid Judo Federation, combined training with other schools, as well as other complementary events.

Necessary equipment (may be acquired at the school):
Infants: judo jacket and belt.
Primary, ESO and Baccalaureate: Judogi
