The Sport of Judo
Judo is one of the world’s most widely practiced Olympic and Paralympics sports and showcases breath-taking throws, sublime ground fighting techniques as competitors illustrate why they’re among the best conditioned athletes in the world.
Judo serves as a great cardiovascular workout, which improves stamina, general health and overall fitness. Physical strength is also improved as a direct result of trying to control and dictate the movement of the opponent and as well as enhanced power. For the same reasons the balance, flexibility and posture of an athlete will also be enhanced. Physical coordination can be seen to develop dramatically from participation in judo and reflexes are also improved together with mental reaction time.
