Judo is an art and a sport, a means of defense,
and equally, a means of offense. Like Jujitsu, it forerunner,
Judo is a method of turning an opponent's strength against
himself, thus defeating him in the most efficient manner. One
will learn to employ specialized principles of movements, balance
and leverage to (1) throw an opponent to the mat; (2) hold
an opponent on the mat; (3) apply a submission/choking
technique, and (4) apply submission hold only on an opponents
elbow joint.
The underlying concept of Judo is that an advantage can be
most effectively obtained by giving way to an attacking force. An
opponent's own movements are utilized to obtain an unbalanced
position from which the other person may execute a successful
technique.
Classes in Beginning, Intermediate and Advance
levels are offered each semester. At the conclusion of
each semester, students will have the opportunity to compete
and host the City College of San Francisco Invitational Judo
Tournament held in April and May. All classes are co-educational.
Classes are 1 unit credit.
