Judo is an ideal sport for all ages, males and females. Confidence and self-esteem may be enhanced as a member progresses through the ranks. The very nature of the grading system ensures that the next goal is always realistic and achievable with application and effort. Judo training is an ideal form of physical exercise and it serves as a great cardiovascular workout, improving stamina, general health, and overall fitness. A sport practiced worldwide in over 200 countries, Judo has been on the Olympic program since 1964, and is regularly contested at the Commonwealth Games. Judo is designed to help build and develop young people of sound moral character and honest conduct. Children are encouraged to develop their physical and psychological well being, in a fun and safe manner whilst enabling them to acquire the basic principles of the sport. Judo is very much a sport than a martial art in that it does not involve any kicking, punching or striking. It is disciplined and provides physical fitness and mental stimulation in a fun and exciting way, but above all teaches children respect for one and other.
