What is the secret of such popularity?
• Excellent physical training. Judo engages all muscle groups. It develops strength, endurance, flexibility and excellent coordination of movements.
• Sport for the smart. Judo is often referred to as “chess in motion.” Here, the winner is not the one who is simply stronger, but the one who knows how to think, anticipate the actions of the opponent and make decisions quickly.
• Self-confidence. Mastering the technique of throwing and holding gives not only physical form, but also psychological stability, the ability to stand up for yourself and remain calm in stressful situations.
• Accessibility. For classes, you need a minimum of equipment - a special kimono (judogi). You can practice from early childhood, and it does not require extreme physical data, only desire is enough.
