Judo is a modern martial art and Olympic sport that originated in Japan. It focuses on using an opponent’s force and balance against them through throws, grappling techniques, and submissions. Unlike striking-based martial arts, Judo emphasizes efficiency of movement, leverage, and control, making it a highly effective discipline for self-defense and competition. Practitioners, known as judokas, train to execute precise techniques that allow them to off-balance and subdue opponents with minimal effort. At AP Jiu Jitsu, we recognize the value of Judo in enhancing grappling skills, improving overall athleticism, and complementing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training.

Practitioners learn to use strategy and skill to neutralize threats, making BJJ both a physical and mental discipline.  AP Jiu Jitsu teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
